He just beat Ryan Bourland recently who looks like not willing to fight and Jake is up again for another.
They should call this a fight but an exhibition but believe it or not is happening. You think Mike is done after Roy Jones but Jake wants to pull him again for he just needs recognition from the boxing community.

I would be surprised if Mike beats Jake. He is 60. Would you bet if its on Stake?

Jake Paul is set to fight former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in a boxing match that will be livestreamed on Netflix.

The bout is scheduled to take place on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Texas and will be available to all Netflix subscribers. Additional information, including the co-main event and undercards, will be announced at a later date. It is being produced in a partnership between Netflix and Paul’s and Nakisa Bidarian’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP).

This will not be the first time Paul and Tyson have appeared on a boxing card together. Paul fought in the co-main event of the pay-per-view that saw Tyson fight an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, which was Tyson’s first boxing match since 2006. Paul defeated former NBA player Nate Robinson via knockout in the second round in what was Paul’s second professional boxing match.

I personally wouldn't be so surprised. Jake's in it for the money, Tyson initially is the same but as time passes by he's becoming even more hungry to just put his opponent down, in light of recent banter and the clown that Jake makes of himself these days. So yeah, even an old Mike Tyson if anyone stands a lot of fighting chance against someone like Jake Paul who only fights people he knows he could beat lol.

At the end of the day though, this battle's all for spectacles, and while Jake doesn't have much to gain except earning the title of the guy who beat Mike Tyson at his Senior Age, Mike Tyson's got a lot to prove for himself in this fight, and I know he will not disappoint.

So yeah, a battle to finally watch from Jake's side, I've been wondering all these years if he'd ever give us something worthwhile and I guess this one will do nicely.
