Mike Tyson is about to take a step back between the ropes.

The boxing legend returns to the ring next week for a showdown with YouTuber boxer Jake Paul at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The Tyson vs. Paul fight was announced in March and was originally scheduled for July 20. But the fight was postponed in late May after Tyson suffered a flare-up of a stomach ulcer.

Tyson, the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the three-belt era, is now set to compete in his first professional fight in nearly two decades. And he will do that at the age of 58 against a boxer who is more than 30 years younger.

Paul, 27, has won 10 of 11 bouts since making his boxing debut in 2020. Paul’s opponents have ranged from MMA fighters like Anderson Silva to boxers like Tyron Woodley. He even fought – and knocked out – former NBA player Nate Robinson.

Now “The Problem Child” meets “The Baddest Man on the Planet” in a highly anticipated match. Will Paul beat one of the sport’s all-time greats? Or will Tyson return with a win?
