At 58 years old and with some health concerns, former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson is planning to step back into the ring for an exhibition fight against YouTuber Jake Paul.

If it happens, Tyson will be the second oldest man to make a boxing comeback. The fight is set for the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which holds 80,000 people, and will be streamed live on Netflix.

Tyson’s Legacy Lives On

Tyson keeps adding milestones to his career. This time, he’ll come out of his relaxed retirement, trailing just behind British boxer Steve Ward, who holds the Guinness World Record as the oldest pro boxer.

Ward had his last fight at 60 in 2017. The Tyson-Paul fight will break another record: the largest age gap in professional boxing history, with a 31-year difference!

Tyson is 58, while Paul is just 27. Paul’s record includes nine wins, six by knockout, and one loss. It doesn’t quite compare to Tyson’s legendary record of 50 wins (44 by knockout) and six losses.

The Huge Payout and Cost to Watch Live

The $80 million purse is a major draw for this Tyson-Paul fight. This event is a big money opportunity for both fighters, building huge anticipation.

The total purse of $80 million will be split equally between Tyson and Paul. Despite the large sum, Tyson says it won’t change his lifestyle. Tickets range from $5,000 to $20,000 depending on seating, and for those wanting a super-exclusive experience, there’s a special suite priced at a whopping $2 million!
