In an exciting announcement, former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson is set to make his return to the ring this summer. Tyson, considered one of the greatest fighters in boxing history, will go head-to-head with YouTube star-turned-boxer Jake Paul in what is expected to be the most highly anticipated sporting event of the year. The match is scheduled to take place on July 20 at the Dallas Cowboys' home, AT&T Stadium, and will be streamed exclusively on Netflix.

Paul, known for his viral knockout of Nate Robinson in his second pro fight, expressed his excitement about this incredible opportunity to face off against Tyson. In a statement released by Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), Paul spoke of his aspirations to become a world champion and his determination to prove himself against Tyson, whom he described as one of boxing's most notorious fighters and biggest icons.

On the other hand, Tyson's statement revealed his admiration for Paul's growth as a boxer over the years. He acknowledged the young fighter's will and ambition, emphasizing that it will be intriguing to witness what he can accomplish with the experience and aptitude of a boxing legend. Tyson also highlighted the symbolic nature of the match, as he had previously fought on the undercard that launched Paul's boxing journey.

While it is yet to be determined if the fight will be classified as an exhibition or professional match, the bout marks Paul's second of the year and Tyson's first since his exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. Paul, 27, has an impressive track record with nine victories in his last ten professional fights, including wins against fellow boxers and MMA fighters like Nate Diaz and Anderson Silva. His only loss thus far is to Tommy Fury, who happens to be Tyson's brother.

Tyson's return to the ring comes following a 15-year hiatus from professional boxing. At the age of 58, he will undoubtedly bring his unparalleled experience and skill to the match against Paul. Fans around the world are eagerly awaiting this clash between the legendary heavyweight champion and the rising boxing star.

As the fight draws nearer, anticipation continues to build, and the boxing community eagerly awaits what promises to be a thrilling event. Mark your calendars for July 20, when Tyson and Paul will collide at AT&T Stadium, delivering a fight of a lifetime.
