Jake Paul’s next fight has been confirmed.
According to Marc Raimondi of ESPN, Jake Paul is scheduled to square off against Mike Tyson on July 20. The highly anticipated event will unfold at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will be streamed exclusively on Netflix.
Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP, expressed excitement about the matchup, stating, “Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is a once-in-a-lifetime dream matchup, and I anticipate it will be the most-watched boxing event in modern boxing history.”
Tyson himself commented on the upcoming bout, acknowledging Paul’s growth as a boxer and expressing anticipation for the clash: “[Paul has] grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a ‘kid’ can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT.”
Paul, reflecting on the journey that led to this moment, remarked, “It’s crazy to think that in my second pro fight I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson’s undercard. Now, less than four years later, I’m stepping up to face Tyson myself to see if I have what it takes to beat one of boxing’s most notorious fighters and biggest icons.”
Paul’s recent victory over Ryan Bourland has added momentum to his career, while Tyson’s exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. on November 28, 2020, has kept fans eager for his return to the ring.
The stage is set for a historic showdown between two formidable opponents, promising to captivate audiences worldwide.
