Jake Paul is set to enter the squared circle in what would be the biggest Boxing fight of his life against Mike Tyson. The bout will go down at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on July 20th and will be aired live on Netflix globally.
Paul was last seen in Boxing action against Ryan Bourland earlier this month in March when he secured his 9th professional victory. On the flip side, Tyson was last seen in an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. back in 2020.
At the age of 57, Mike Tyson’s return to the squared circle was criticized by a lot of people. Many suggested that it is unsafe for Tyson to enter the squared circle at this age. However, the recent rule set for his fight against Jake Paul might have eased his fans.
As reported by MMA Uncensored, the fight will be an exhibition bout and no winner will be announced unless a knockout. The two fighters will be wearing 16oz gloves instead of 10oz gloves. Moreover, the rounds will be 2 mins each instead of 3 mins each.
