Mike Tyson prepares for first fight in nearly 20 years against Jake Paul in Dallas
Mike Tyson, 58, is set to fight Jake Paul, 27, in his first sanctioned match in nearly 20 years. The fight will take place on Friday at the Dallas Cowboys' stadium and will be streamed on Netflix, marking a shift from traditional pay-per-view. Tyson and Paul have built hype around their bout, with Paul embracing his role as the villain. Tyson, who has lost weight due to health issues, stated he is not fighting for money but for enjoyment. The fight will consist of eight two-minute rounds with heavier gloves to reduce punch impact. The event will also feature a co-main fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, which is expected to be a significant women's sporting event. Promoters believe the Tyson-Paul fight will attract a larger audience, despite the attention on the women's match.
