Mike Tyson will fight Jake Paul in Texas, marking Tyson's first sanctioned match since 2005. The fight will take place at the Dallas Cowboys' stadium, featuring shorter rounds and heavier gloves to reduce punch power. Tyson, 58, has a professional record of 50-6, while 27-year-old Paul is 10-1. The match was postponed from July due to Tyson's health issues. Paul is reportedly earning $40 million, compared to Tyson's $20 million. The event also includes a co-main fight for the women's super lightweight championship between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, a rematch of their previous bout in 2022.
