Boxing Legend Mike Tyson To Face YouTube Star Jake Paul In Netflix Livestream

In a match-up that defies expectations, boxing icon Mike Tyson will step back into the ring to take on YouTube personality turned boxer Jake Paul this July on Netflix.

The exhibition bout, set for July 20th at AT&T Stadium in Texas, marks Netflix's foray into live sports broadcasting. This first-of-its-kind event follows a deal signed by Paul's company with the streaming giant last November.



Tyson, 58, last entered the ring in November 2020 for an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. –“ a full 15 years after his official retirement. More recently, he has dabbled in professional wrestling, most recently appearing for AEW in 2022. Despite this, Tyson has expressed a preference for working with WWE, even at a lower financial offer.



Meanwhile, Paul (27, 9-1) has carved a niche for himself in the boxing world. The former YouTube star has garnered fame by defeating past-their-prime MMA fighters seeking a lucrative payday, including Anderson Silva, Ben Askren, and Tyron Woodley.



Details surrounding the Tyson-Paul bout remain murky. It's unclear whether the fight will be a sanctioned professional event or an exhibition, and the number of rounds, glove size, and fighter payouts haven't been disclosed.



This spectacle precedes WWE's own live streaming venture, scheduled to launch in January with Raw in the US and all WWE content internationally.

Dana White On Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul; 'I Don't Like To See Guys Fighting At A 31-Year Age Difference'

Legendary boxer Mike Tyson is scheduled to return to the ring for an exhibition match against YouTuber Jake Paul on July 20, 2024. The bout, which will be streamed on Netflix, has raised eyebrows in the fighting world, with UFC president Dana White expressing his reservations. ## White, a long-time friend of Tyson, has previously voiced his disapproval of the former heavyweight champion's return to boxing. During the UFC 299 post-fight press conference, White reiterated his concerns, highlighting the significant age difference between the 57-year-old Tyson and his 26-year-old opponent.## "He gets mad when I do this," White said, "but Mike's 60, man. I don't know what you guys think about it, who cares what I think, it's not my fight." ## Despite acknowledging their personal friendship and admiration for Tyson, White emphasized his worry: "I don't like to see guys fighting at... A 31-year age difference in that fight, you know." Whether Tyson can defy expectations and pull off a successful return against a much younger opponent remains to be seen. The fight has certainly generated buzz, but White's concerns echo a wider sentiment of unease surrounding the veteran boxer's comeback. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
