The upcoming boxing spectacle, Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, may have caused controversy, but you know you’ll be watching just like us. It’s been dubbed the battle of the generations, with boxing diehards siding with Iron Mike, while the youthful YouTube crowd will likely cheer for Paul. The age difference between Tyson (58 years old) and Paul (27 years old) is the largest age difference ever seen in a professional boxing event, making this match even more exciting.

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson will take place on Friday November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, after being approved as a professional match by the Texas Licensing and Regulations Department in April. The meet was initially scheduled for July 20 this year, but was postponed due to Tyson’s flare-up of a stomach ulcer.

Several adjustments have been made to the usual setup for professional boxing fights. Paul vs Tyson will consist of eight rounds of two minutes each, with both fighters using heavier 14-ounce gloves instead of the 10-ounce gloves usually worn. The extra padding should make it harder for Paul or Tyson to produce a knockout. It can also reduce the chance of the fighters suffering cuts and swelling during the match.

The fight marks ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson’s first professional fight since he initially retired from the sport following a 2005 loss to Kevin McBride. Tyson, who remains the youngest fighter to ever capture the world heavyweight title, which he did in 1986 at the age of 20, won 50 of his previous 58 professional victories, 88% of them by stoppage. His fans will hope that the American boxing legend still has some of that enormous punching power left in his closet.

Jake Paul, the undisputed king of marketing and hype, is competing in only his twelfth professional fight as he hunts for his biggest ring scalp. He has amassed an impressive 10-1 record since first embarking on a career in the sport in 2018. The famous Youtuber has shown his punching power in recent bouts, stopping his last three opponents from the previous year, two wins in the opening round.
