Mike Tyson is about to step between the ropes again.

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

The fight between Tyson and Paul was announced in March and was originally scheduled for July 20th. However, the fight was postponed in late May after Tyson's ulcer flared up.

Tyson, the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the three-belt era, is now set for his first professional fight in nearly two decades. And he will do that at the age of 58 against a boxer who is over 30 years younger.

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

Now “The Worry Child” faces “The Baddest Man on the Planet” in a highly anticipated match. Will Paul defeat one of the sport's greats? Or will Tyson return with a win?
