It's a boxing match that's been building anticipation for over eight months.
An announcement in March revealed that boxing legend Mike Tyson would return to the ring after nearly two decades to take on YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. The bout was originally scheduled for July 20 before being postponed in late May after Tyson experienced an ulcer flare-up.
But the stage is now set for "The Baddest Man on the Planet" to fight "The Problem Child" in a heavyweight match on Friday at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The generational showdown pits a 58-year-old who was the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the three-belt era against a 27-year-old who's had around a dozen pro fights since launching his boxing career in 2020.
Will Tyson, who's the betting underdog, be able to overcome the stark age difference in his first pro fight since 2005? Or will Paul earn a victory over one of the sport's biggest all-time names?
