Slated to stand opposite each other in the ring this summer at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, the scheduled boxing match between Jake Paul, and former world heavyweight world champion, Mike Tyson – is currently targeted to be an officially sanctioned professional fight, according to reports this week.
Earlier this month, news broke regarding a July 20. boxing match between 9-1 striker, social media star, Paul, and veteran former world heavyweight champion knockout artist, Tyson, was set for this summer in Arlington, Texas – with global streaming service, Netflix set to broadcast the bout as a non-PPV event.
And developments this week, as revealed by Ariel Helwani, reveal the bout between Paul and Tyson is currently targeted to be an officially sanctioned professional boxing match, with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation set to make the final decision regarding the sanctioning of the match.
“Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is reportedly being targeted to be an officially sanctioned pro boxing match – Texas Commission will make the final decision on this,” Michael Benson posted on X. “If it’s an exhibition, it will be like Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. and still have no headgear.

Returning to the ring for his tenth professional fight earlier this month, Paul turned in a one-sided first round TKO win over former Golden Gloves winner, Ryan Bourland in an overmatch clash in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
As for Tyson, the Fort Greene native has been sidelined from professional boxing since dropping a sixth round knockout loss to Kevin McBride back in 2006.
Revered as one of the greatest heavyweight boxers to ever step inside the ropes, Tyson made a brief appearance back inside the squared circle in late 2020, fighting to an official split draw with fellow former world champion, Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition bout in Los Angeles, California.
Predicting a one-sided win over the soon-to-be 58-year-old, Tyson, Ohio native, Paul claimed he would put the Brooklyn puncher to sleep once and for all.
Sharing footage of him hitting the heavy bag earlier this week ahead of his scheduled July return to the ring, knockout threat, Tyson also vowed to “finish” Paul when they step inside the ring in ‘The Lone Star State’.
Receiving its fair share of criticizm since the booking of a fight, UFC CEO, Dana White claimed he was not a fan of Tyson fighting Paul in July – given the age of the New York veteran.

By the time legendary pugilist ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson steps back inside the squared circle, he will be 58 years old.
Last week, the former unified heavyweight champion of the world revealed that on July 20, he will return to the ring for a clash with YouTube sensation Jake Paul at a blockbuster event airing exclusively on Netflix.
Already preparing for their highly anticipated clash inside the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Mike Tyson shared some new training footage of himself hitting the heavy bag and looking undeniably sharp.

It is unclear if Tyson’s fight with Paul will be a full-on professional boxing bout or an exhibition match.
After retiring in 2005 with a record of 50-6 with 44 wins by knockout, Tyson returned to the ring in November 2020 for an exhibition with another icon of the sport — Roy Jones Jr. They fought to an eight-round draw.
‘Iron’ is best known for KO’ing his first 19 opponents and holding the unified heavyweight title from 1987 to 1990.
As for his opponent, Jake Paul is 9-1 in his boxing career with a majority of his victories coming against past-their-prime MMA stars including Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz. In his last two bouts, ‘The Problem Child’ squared off with a couple of no-name opponents, knocking them both out in the first round. His lone loss came against Tommy Fury, the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, in February 2023.

UFC CEO Dana White is not particularly thrilled with Mike Tyson’s return to the boxing ring this summer.
Earlier this week, it was announced that the legendary pugilist would step back inside the squared circle for a showdown with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul at a blockbuster event inside AT&T Stadium — home of the Dallas Cowboys — on July 20.
By the time fight night rolls around, Tyson will be 58 years old, more than 30 years older than his opponent.
Asked for his thoughts on the news during the UFC 299 post-fight press event, White was reluctant to slam the matchmaking, taking his friendship with Tyson into consideration, but made it abundantly clear that he did not approve.
“He gets mad when I do this, but Mike is [57], man,” White said. “I love Mike Tyson personally, as a friend. He’s one of my favorite athletes of all time. Let’s see if he can go in there and put together a training camp, but I don’t like to see the guy fighting. There’s a 31-year age difference in that fight. You guys know what I think of that stuff.”
In another interesting twist, the fight will take place on Netflix, becoming the streaming giant’s first foray into live combat sports.
“I think that Netflix should have gotten into live sports years ago,” White added. “I think they are late to the game, but they are a force, and when you look at the amount of homes that they’re in worldwide… You guys heard me talk about the show Reacher. I posted about it. I love that show. I hate TV. I don’t watch any f*cking TV show hardly ever. Don’t watch movies anymore, but I love the show Reach, right? I can watch Reacher whenever I want to. I can watch it when I get home. I can watch it next week.
“Live sports like [UFC 299] you have to watch tonight. As all these massive streaming companies start to get bigger and bigger, they have to be involved in live sports.”
In January, it was announced that World Wrestling Entertainment would move its flagship show — Monday Night Raw — to Netflix in a blockbuster deal starting in 2025. It will be the first time the show airs exclusively on a streaming platform since debuting in 1993.
The UFC and ESPN will head to the negotiating table to discuss a new broadcast rights deal in the near future. The promotion inked a lucrative seven-year agreement with the leader in sports in 2018 that was reportedly worth more than $1.5 billion.
With that deal set to expire next year, the UFC is planning to sit down with ESPN before fielding offers from other networks and streaming services looking to add the Las Vegas-based organization to their library.
Negotiations will be handled by the UFC’s parent company, TKO Group Holdings which is led by CEO Ari Emanuel.

Following the shocking announcement of his boxing match showdown this summer, naive striker, Jake Paul has opened as a rather heavy betting favorite to beat former world heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson as the pair prepare for a blockbuster July showdown at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Paul, who made his return to the ring earlier this month, managed to turn in a one-sided first round TKO win over the hugely-overmatched, Ryan Bourland in Puerto Rico, stopping the Golden Gloves winner in the pair’s cruiserweight clash.
And as for Tyson, the soon-to-be 58-year-old has been sidelined from professional boxing since he fought Kevin McBride in an eventual sixth round knockout loss back in 2005.
Briefly returning in an exhibition clash with fellow former world champion slickster, Roy Jones Jr. four years ago, Brooklyn fan-favorite, Tyson fought to a split draw with his compatriot in a bout scored by the WBC.
And officially slated to fight Tyson in a boxing match this summer in ‘The Lone Star State’, the above-mentioned Paul is available as high as a -360 betting favorite to beat the reveared knockout artist, Tyson – who is available as a +300 betting underdog to hand the outspoken social media star his second professional loss in their Netflix broadcast clash.
Fans and punters alike hoping to get in on the action early — on a line which is sure to fluctuate throughout the coming weeks ahead of their July clash, can bet online on this summer’s showdown between Jake Paul, and Mike Tyson — as part of a card which almost is sure to garner worldwide attention as part of it’s broadcasting deal with global streaming service, Netflix.
Making his tenth trip to the squared circle in his fight against the above-mentioned veteran, Bourland, Paul extended his winning run to three straight fights with his dominant opening frame knockout win.
Turning in a similarly one-sided victory over Andre August in a highlight-reel first round KO via one punch last December, Paul had previously taken former undisputed UFC lightweight title chaser, Nate Diaz, the full 10 round limit in Texas, landing a one-sided decision win as well as an eye-catching knockdown.
In his sole professional loss, Paul, who also holds wins over former mixed martial arts championship winners, Tyron Woodley, and Ben Askren – both via knockout, saw his unbeaten record halted by reality television star, Tommy Fury – the half brother of WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury.
One of the most iconic boxers in the sport’s long and storied history, Tyson – a devastating knockout artist and former WBA, WBC, and IBF world heavyweight champion, ended his storied professional career in the midst of a disappointing two fight skid.
Last seeing his hand raised off the back of a knockout win over Clifford Etienne back in 2003, Tyson was warned that his lights would be shut off by Ohio native Paul this summer in Arlington, who described their surprising showcase as the biggest fight of the 21st century to boot.
“Promotion promotion promotion, if I’m being honest it don’t need that.” Jake Paul posted on his official X account, accompanied by a poster of his bout with Mike Tyson. “The biggest fight of the 21st century, in the biggest NFL stadium in the US, broadcast live, on the biggest streaming platform in the world…that’s the MVP way.”
“Whether you’re tuning in on Netflix or showing out in person, whether you’re team Paul or team Tyson, or whether you’re a lifelong boxing fan or watching your first fight, you’re not going to want to miss this event,” Jake Paul continued. “I could not be more excited to make this amazing fight available to all Netflix subscribers alongside the hardest hitter of all time, Mike Tyson, on Saturday, July 20th.”
“My sights are set on becoming a world champion, and now I have a chance to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion of the world, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time,” Jake Paul wrote. “Time to put ‘Iron’ Mike to sleep.”

Mike Tyson plans to finish ‘The Problem Child’ this summer.
On Thursday morning, news broke that the former undisputed heavyweight world champion would return to the ring for a boxing match with social media sensation Jake Paul. Emanating from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas — home of the Dallas Cowboys — the fight will broadcast live via Netflix on July 20, 2024.
“I’m very much looking forward to stepping into the ring with Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas,” Tyson said in a press release. “He’s grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a ‘kid’ can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT.
“It’s a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch; as I started him off on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones and now I plan to finish him” (H/T MMA Junkie).
In November 2020, Paul stepped inside the squared circle for the second time in his career as part of the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. undercard. He earned a second-round TKO against former NBA star Nate Robinson. In the time since, ‘The Problem Child’ has amassed a 9-1 record with his lone loss coming against Tommy Fury via a closely contested split decision last year.
Paul’s last two appearances have seen him score back-to-back first-round knockouts against a couple of no-name opponents under his own Most Valuable Promotions banner.
Mike Tyson is considered to be one of the most dangerous boxers to ever step foot in the ring, dispatching his first 19 opponents by way of knockout and holding the undisputed heavyweight title from 1987 to 1990. Over his 20-year career, Tyson built a record that includes 50 wins with 44 of them coming by way of knockout.
When it comes to experience, there is no ifs, ands, or buts. Mike Tyson has a clear advantage. However, ‘Iron’ will be 58 years old by the time fight night rolls around — more than 30 years older than Jake Paul. As a result, Tyson is currently listed as a significant +300 underdog on multiple sportsbooks compared to ‘The Problem Child’ who is being heavily favored at -360.
