Mike Tyson is about to step back between the ropes.

The boxing legend will return to the ring next week for a showdown with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The Tyson-Paul fight was announced in March and originally scheduled for July 20. But the fight was postponed in late May after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up.

Tyson, the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the three-belt era, is now set to take part in his first professional fight in almost two decades. And he will do it at 58 years old against a boxer more than 30 years his junior.

Paul, 27, has won 10 of 11 matches since his boxing debut in 2020. Paul’s opponents range from MMA fighters like Anderson Silva to boxers like Tyron Woodley. He even fought – and knocked out – former NBA player Nate Robinson.

Now, “The Problem Child” will meet “The Baddest Man on the Planet” in a highly anticipated match. Will Paul be able to defeat one of the greatest players of all time? Or will Tyson come back with a victory?
