In 2020, Paul had declined the idea of fighting Tyson or Evander Holyfield in an exhibition. However, now he will be facing Tyson in the ring.
Paul currently holds a boxing record of 9-1 with three consecutive wins, while Tyson, who retired in 2005, has an impressive record of 50-6 with 44 knockouts.
Paul has a reputation for bringing athletes out of retirement for boxing matches. He has defeated the likes of Robinson, Askren, Woodley, Silva, and Diaz, with his only loss against Tommy Fury.
The highly anticipated fight between Paul and Tyson will take place at AT&T Stadium, known for hosting the Dallas Cowboys.

Mike said he stopped fighting because he knows he’ll lost and he respects the sport. Now he’s going against his words
