The Youtuber turned boxer, Jake Paul, has lined up his next opponent after knocking out Ryan Bourland at the start of the month.
Legendary boxer, Mike Tyson will step back into the ring for the first time since he fought Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition fight four years ago when he faces off with Jake Paul in July.
Paul fought on the undercard of that fight, knocking out the former basketball player Nate Robinson in what was his second ever bout. He has since gone on to win another seven fights after that, losing just once to brother of Tyson, Tommy Fury.
Despite a 30-year age gap, the two global icons will go head-to-head at the 80,000 capacity AT&T Stadium on Saturday, July 20th.
