58-Year-Old Mike Tyson To Fight American YouTuber Jake Paul In Netflix-Backed Boxing Match

Nearly 40 years after making his professional debut, and 19 years after being battered into retirement, a 58-year-old Mike Tyson will climb back into the ring on Friday for a Netflix-backed bout that has drawn widespread condemnation across the boxing world. Tyson, who terrorised the heavyweight division during an imperious reign in the late 1980s, is lacing up the gloves once more to take on Youtuber Jake Paul, 27, in an officially sanctioned fight at AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, in Arlington, Texas.

Mike Tyson opened up about his exchanges with Jake Paul during the build-up to their eagerly anticipated boxing match scheduled for Friday night at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, where up to 80,000 fans are expected. Initially set for last July, Tyson had to back out due to an ulcer flare-up but with the fight back on, concerns over the 58-year-old's wellbeing have escalated, not least because he admitted struggling to walk after a training session.
