Heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson is set to come out of retirement this July to face social media star Jake Paul in a highly controversial bout in Texas. At 58 years old, Tyson will be 30 years older than his opponent, making this match a spectacle for boxing fans and critics alike.

The fight will be conducted over eight two-minute rounds, resembling an exhibition bout, but it will count towards both fighters’ professional records. Tyson’s last professional appearance was in 2005 when he retired on his stool after five rounds against Kevin McBride.

Evander Holyfield, who famously defeated Tyson twice, including the infamous ear-biting incident, believes Tyson can secure a victory against Paul using his left hook or right hand.

“Personally, I wouldn’t see a defeat by Paul as bad for boxing,” Holyfield told FightHub TV. “Mike has fought his whole life for his own reasons. Even at his age, his strength remains. If he catches Paul with a left hook or right hand, it could be all over.”

Both fighters have been vocal in the lead-up to the match. Jake Paul, confident and brash as ever, declared, “On July 20, Mike will be put to sleep, and I will go down as the man who ended his career. They say he’s the baddest man on the planet, so let’s find out.”

The showdown between Tyson and Paul has generated significant buzz, with many eagerly anticipating whether the veteran legend can outmatch the younger, yet unproven, Paul. The bout promises to be a historical event, blending the old guard with the new age of boxing entertainment.

As the date approaches, fans from all corners of the boxing world are gearing up for what promises to be a night of high drama and unforgettable moments.

Will Tyson’s legendary power and experience prevail, or will Jake Paul achieve the upset of the century? All will be revealed on July 20.
