One of the most bizarre sporting events of all time has finally arrived.
Mike Tyson, the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion once dubbed “The Baddest Man on the Planet,” and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, 27, are squaring off in a professional boxing match tonight at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with the fight streaming on Netflix at 8 p.m. ET.
The fight was originally supposed to take place on July 20, but it was postponed after Tyson had an ulcer flare-up and began throwing up blood.
This marks Tyson’s first professional boxing match since June 11, 2005, when he lost to Kevin McBride; he faced Roy Jones Jr. in a Nov. 28, 2020 exhibition that resulted in a draw.
Paul fought on that same card, defeating former Knicks guard Nate Robinson by knockout in his second pro fight.
“The Problem Child” is 10-1 as a boxer, racking up many of his wins against MMA fighters, most recently a TKO victory against Mike Perry in July.
His lone loss came on Feb. 26, 2023 against Tommy Fury, the younger brother of former heavyweight champ Tyson Fury.
