And it doesn't look like the 57-year-old boxer who was spotted with a cane just two years ago is backing down from the challenge posed by the YouTube star-turned-boxer.

The fight was announced this month. Tyson and Paul will face off on July 20 on Netflix at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the home of the Dallas Cowboys.
“It's crazy to think that in my second professional fight, I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson's undercard. Now, less than four years later, I'm going to face Tyson myself to see if I have what it takes “. to beat one of boxing's most notorious fighters and biggest icons,” Paul said in a statement released by Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP).

“My sights are set on becoming world champion, and now I have the opportunity to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion of all time, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time. This will be the fight of my life.”
The fight will mark Paul's second fight of the year and Tyson's first since his exhibition fight with Roy Jones Jr. in 2020.
“He 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,” Tyson's statement reads. .
