The blockbuster fight between social media superstar Jake Paul and boxing icon Mike Tyson finally takes place this week.

Tyson and Paul are an unlikely pairing and it will be an intriguing match upGetty YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, 27, announced the surprise clash with the 58-year-old former undisputed heavyweight champion out of nowhere, with no leaks or rumours before the fight was set. A July 20 date was announced, but medical issues with Tyson saw it postponed, with Paul instead KO’ing Mike Perry to move to 11-1. Paul, whose second pro fight was on the undercard of Tyson’s exhibition clash with Roy Jones Jr in 2020, has now fought twice this year already having also beaten Ryan Bourland with a first-round stoppage in March. Tyson, meanwhile, who was once one of the most destructive heavyweights around, hasn’t fought professionally in 19 years. ‘Iron Mike’ has impressed in training and was willing to get physical with the man 31 years his junior at their New York press conference. The American had to postpone the last bout due to an ulcer flare-up, but he’s now over that and is ready to go under the lights once more.
