Jake Paul To Fight Mike Tyson On July 20, Event Will Air On Netflix

Jake Paul’s next fight is set. 

Marc Raimondi of ESPN reports that Jake Paul will fight Mike Tyson on July 20. The event will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and stream on Netflix. 

“Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is a once-in-a-lifetime dream matchup and I anticipate it will be the most-watched boxing event in modern boxing history,” MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian said in a statement.

Tyson said about the fight, “[Paul has] 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 on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones, and now I plan to finish him.”

Paul said, “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. Within just two and a half years of founding MVP, we’re about to produce the biggest fight in history, a fight in the biggest NFL stadium in the US, broadcast live, on the biggest streaming platform in the world — a testament to all we’ve accomplished in such a short amount of time.”

Paul is coming off a first-round TKO victory over Ryan Bourland. 

Tyson fought Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition fight on November 28, 2020.
