Jake Paul and Mike Tyson exchanged insults hyping their July 20 fight at AT&T Stadium in Texas, an 8-round pro bout streamed live on Netflix.
Mike Tyson , left, and Jake Paul , right, face off during a news conference promoting their upcoming boxing bout, Thursday, May 16, 2024, in Arlington, Texas . The fight is scheduled for July 20. Jake Paul and Mike Tyson traded insults and expletives as they previewed their fight just a few football fields from the site of the planned summer bout, the 80,000-seat home of the Dallas Cowboys.
Tyson retired in 2005, but most recently fought in an exhibition in November 2000 against Roy Jones in California, which wouldn't declare it a pro fight. Tyson was mostly annoyed by the scene and the questions, including when asked what it meant to have a chance to fill AT&T Stadium. Entering to loud boos, Paul answered with foul language and derogatory gestures, then encouraged and led an expletive-laden chant directed at him by the pro-Tyson crowd.Paul has nine wins in 10 fights, three since his only loss to Tommy Fury, the young half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. One of the recent wins was in nearby Dallas against former UFC fighter Nate Diaz.
Netflix is carrying the fight live, a first for the streaming platform. Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are the co-main event in a rematch of their slugfest at Madison Square Garden two years ago.
