ARLINGTON, Texas — Editor's note: The video published above is an interview WFAA conducted with Jake Paul ahead of his boxing match against Nate Diaz in Dallas.
AT&T Stadium in Arlington is set to host one of the most-talked about sporting events of the year: Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson.
Paul vs. Tyson will take center stage in front of fans at the 80,000-seat capacity stadium in North Texas and digitally on Netflix, the platform's third live sports event.
This fight will mark Paul's second time boxing in North Texas, after he defeated UFC legend Nate Diaz in a 10-round bout at the American Airlines Center, home of the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars, back in August 2023.
Paul has since fought in two more boxing matches: back-to-back knockouts of professional boxers and Golden Glove winners Andre August and Ryan Bourland.
When is the Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight?
The fight is scheduled for July 20, 2024.
When was Mike Tyson's last fight?
This depends on how you look at Tyson's boxing career. If you look exclusively at his professional boxing matches, Tyson hasn't fought a sanctioned fight since 2005, a corner retirement loss to Kevin McBride, back when Tyson was 38 years old.
However, Tyson fought an exhibition match in 2020, when he was 54 years old, against a 51-year-old Roy Jones Jr. The Tyson-Jones fight ended in a split draw. Ironically enough, this fight card also featured Paul, who fought NBA star Nate Robinson.
When was Jake Paul's last fight?
Paul's last boxing match was earlier this past weekend, a first-round knockout against professional boxer and Golden Glove winner Ryan Bourland. The 27-year-old Cleveland native has amassed a 9-1 professional boxing record, fighting professional athletes, other celebrities, and more recently, professional fighters.
