The announcement from Netflix

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson will be livestreamed by Netflix!

Jake Paul has been gaining a lot of attention when he started doing exhibition matches in boxing. 

The guy beat former NBA player Nate Robinson via KO last 2020, former UFC Champion Anderson Silva, Olympic MMA Ben Askren, former UFC Champ Tyron Woodley, former UFC contender Nate Diaz, and many more.

He also fought boxing icon Floyd Mayweather Jr although he lost.

Most of Jake Paul's fights are sold out and come with numerous crowds both in the arena and online.

Now YouTuber turned boxer will fight another oldie, but this guy is no ordinary grandpa and he is a former Boxing Heavyweight Champion and a known menace in his prime days Mike Tyson.

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, said Jake Paul.

It will be a match of youth/endurance vs experience/wisdom. But still, we cannot count out Tyson's weight, timing, and the fact that some of his arsenal may still be there. But if you've seen Jake Paul give problems to professional fighters with old age, he may really have the advantage.

He's 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. It's a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch; as I started him off on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones and now I plan to finish him, Mike Tyson says

According to Netflix, the match will be coming on July 20th this year and they are expecting the match to gain a lot of watchers all over the world.
