After months of waiting, Mike Tyson and Jake Paul finally go head-to-head in the ring at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. The two will finally touch gloves, six months after their initial fight was postponed due to receiving medical attention for an ulcer flareup.
Paul faces his biggest challenge since making the transition from the YouTube scene into the boxing ring. The 27-year-old has already stepped foot into the ring with a host of UFC icons, such as Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley, but suffered the only loss of his career to Tommy ‘TNT’ Fury.
The veteran heavyweight champion is returning for his first professional outing for almost 20 years and his first fight in four. But ‘Iron Mike’ is the outsider due to being double his opponents age, despite his record during his illustrious career.
