Like it or not, Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is happening, folks.
After one cancellation and several months of buildup, Paul and Tyson will step into the ring Friday night at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, as they headline the first boxing event promoted by streaming giant Netflix.
Paul vs. Tyson has been sanctioned as a fully professional bout by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, despite the massive age gap with Tyson, 58, 31 years older than Paul, 27. They will compete in a heavyweight bout scheduled for eight, 2-minute rounds, and the result will count against their records.
