It’s fight week in Texas. Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are set to meet inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Friday night in what is sure to be an epic event and one of the most anticipated of the year. There’s no title on the line and the rules will be a little different than normal, but people can’t stop talking about what could happen when these two men step in the ring. The event will also be a first of its kind to stream exclusively on Netflix.
Tyson’s legend and vast experience have him as a modest underdog. What Paul lacks in longevity he should make up for with youth, commitment and a qualified team behind him. The bout was originally scheduled to go down on July 20, but Tyson suffered a medical issue related to an ulcer that forced a postponement.
The fight will also be an officially sanctioned bout by the Texas commission. The fight will be eight, two-minute rounds with slightly larger gloves than normal.
Paul (9-1, 6 KOs) is all-in on boxing. The YouTuber started boxing other social media stars before graduating to UFC fighters and champions testing the sweet science. Paul recently took a detour from beating older, smaller MMA fighters like Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz and went the more traditional development route. Paul notched consecutive knockout wins over club-level boxers in the leadup to the Tyson announcement.
“I think he’s always wanted to do this. This has been a long time coming. We’ve been calling each other out for years and we finally got to make it happen on Netflix, the biggest platform in the world, and things just keep on getting bigger and bette,” Paul said during a press conference in May. “The co-main event [Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano]… I mean this is quite literally history that we’re looking at right here. Mike wanted this. Mike wanted it to be a pro fight. He wants the war, and so I respect that. I respect him for taking this fight, for stepping up to try to put an end to me because that’s what all these fighters have been trying to do is end the YouTuber and if Mike can do that, then he’s a hero.”
Tyson (50-6-2 NC, 44 KOs) has not boxed publicly since his 2020 exhibition against fellow legend Roy Jones Jr. ended in a draw. It’s often said power is the last thing to go and “Iron” Mike will need it against an opponent 30 years his junior. The former undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion is an all-time great with wins over Larry Holmes and Michael Spinks.
The undercard also features a tremendous rematch for the undisputed women’s lightweight crown when champion Katie Taylor takes on Amanda Serrano. The two first met inside Madison Square Garden — the first women’s boxing match in history to headline the venue — where Taylor took home a contentious split decision in April 2022. Taylor has since claimed the undisputed crown at junior welterweight, which are the titles she will take in the matchup on Saturday.
