U.S. Jake Paul, 27, to fight 57-year-old Mike Tyson live on Netflix: "Time to put Iron Mike to sleep" Updated on: March 7, 2024 / 12:28 PM EST / CBS/AP
Social media star-turned-boxer Jake Paul will fight former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Texas, Netflix announced Thursday.
The streaming platform will provide live coverage of the bout between the 27-year-old Paul and 57-year-old Tyson, who hasn't fought since he and Roy Jones Jr. met in a 2020 exhibition that ended as a draw.
A short video trailer posted by Netflix shows Paul getting off a helicopter on a rooftop and then coming face to face with Tyson.

Foreman fought into his early 50s. Iron Mike is going to hurt this clown 🤡
That is why I said gut. A direct punch to the head by Tyson could easily kill. Look at what he did to Spinks.
Yes. In his day the consensus was that Iron Mike had the hardest punch ever. Bet he’s still got a good one.
His fist would get lost in your gut.
Just don’t pull a Houdini!
Paul could win, especially if Tyson blows his energy early.
Paul is a lean 200 lbs.
There are three contestants in this fight, Tyson, Paul and Father Time.
Paul could win. If he can use an RPG. Of course, that assume he can aim.
I’m a couple of years older than Tyson, but when I was 27 and in my prime, you couldn’t have paid me to fight today’s Tyson even if I had a loaded shotgun to help me out. No how, no way - the guy just hits too hard, and while he’s not in his prime, he has 4 months to get back into shape (not that he’s in bad shape now, btw) and to end up hitting 90% as hard as he did in the late ‘80s.
I REALLY hate to say it but I’m taking Paul.
Taking him to the cemetary?
Ask MMA former champ Tyrone Woolley. I favor Tyson heavily mind you.

If I was also at my 1988 level of physical fitness, WITHOUT QUESTION.
OMG my favorite Tyson fight of all time ... I used to think. Spinks had NO BUSINESS being in the ring with Tyson ... NONE.
Go Mike!
Smith wrote one tune. Over and over.
Fight at Trump Casino...bet he regrets that.
