Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson: A Clash of Generations in the Boxing Ring

Key Points

• Jake Paul and Mike Tyson set to face off in a highly anticipated boxing match on July 20.
• The event will be streamed live on Netflix, marking the streaming giant's entry into combat sports.
• Despite the significant age difference between the fighters, the matchup promises to be a must-watch spectacle.

Jake Paul rose to combat sports fame when he knocked out former NBA player Nate Robinson on the undercard of Mike Tyson's exhibition boxing match with Roy Jones Jr. in 2020.

Now, Paul, the YouTuber-turned-prizefighter, and Tyson, the former heavyweight boxing champion, will meet again -- as opponents -- in what will be the most polarizing spectacle yet of the recent crossover boxing craze.

Tyson will face Paul in a boxing match July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in the main event of a card that will air on Netflix, officials told ESPN. It will be the streaming company's first foray into combat sports and its third live sporting event overall. Paul's Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) inked a deal with Netflix for a boxing card last Nov. 1, per MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian.
