Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are going head-to-head. No joke.
The duo, one a YouTube sensation turned boxer, the other a boxing legend, dropped a bombshell on the combat sports universe this Thursday. They’re set to duke it out on July 20 in Arlington, Texas. The venue? The AT&T Stadium, where the Dallas Cowboys usually strut their stuff. And guess what? You can catch it all live on Netflix.
This news hit the fight community like a right hook. Reactions? A mixed bag of shock, revulsion, and a strange kind of fascination. And it wasn’t just the fans who were left reeling.
Paul released a teaser on his YouTube channel that same Thursday. It’s a wild ride. He’s seen revisiting some of Tyson’s most notorious moments, then blindsiding his fans with the big reveal.
But there’s more. The trailer also includes a vintage clip of Tyson himself. Seems like he saw this coming.
An interviewer pops the question to Tyson, “Could you f*** him up?” referring to Paul.
Tyson’s response? “Oh, so f****** easy.”
