Boxing icon to step back into the ring with crossover star.

Jake Paul is set to sensationally fight boxing legend Mike Tyson later this year at Dallas' AT&T Stadium. 

The bout will take place on 20 July inside the 80,000 seater home of the Dallas Cowboys, as the 27-year-old Paul squares off against 'Iron Mike' - an opponent thirty years older than the social media star. 

Since moving into the boxing world Paul is 9-1 with six KOs, with his one loss coming against Tommy Fury. However, this would present his highest profile bout to date, against one of the all-time greats in Tyson. 

When did Mike Tyson last have a boxing match?

Mike Tyson's last professional fight came on June 11, 2005, when he lost to Kevin McBride before retiring from the sport. 

In 2020, he returned to the ring for an eight-round exhibition fight with Roy Jones Jr. The match went the full distance but was declared a draw on the judge's scorecard.

When did Jake Paul last fight? 

Paul will come into the fight with Tyson having just beaten Ryan Bourland in a first-round knockout last Saturday in Puerto Rico. It marked his second win in a row over former Golden Gloves winners after his victory against Andre August in December 2023.
