“It’s JAKE PAUL vs. MIKE TYSON — yes, really! — in a LIVE BOXING event at AT&T Stadium you won’t want to miss. Airing live on Netflix Saturday, July 20 #PaulTyson.”

Back in May 2022, Tyson, told the Club Random Podcast that he would ONLY fight the YouTuber-come-boxer if it smashed pay-per-view records

which now seems strange as it is not on PPV and will be available to all Netflix users.

On Paul he said: “I don’t look at him the way society looks at him, I can’t even say what they call him.

“He’s a fighter but they don’t want to credit him as being a fighter. He can fight and everybody wants to kick his a** because he p***** everybody off. He’s a great salesman and promoter, he doesn’t even know it. He’s just a natural great promoter.”

Yesterday, it was confirmed that the fight has been officially sanctioned as a professional contest that will go down on both of their records.

The heavyweight showdown will be contested over eight, two-minute rounds with each fighter using 14-ounce gloves, but they will NOT be wearing head gear.

Knockouts are allowed as it is a professional contest.

Mike Tyson wanted it to be a pro fight. Netflix wanted it to be a pro fight. So I agreed to make it a pro fight. Winner takes all pic.twitter.com/fNLnIiD8fM
