Jake Paul is coming back to DFW, and this time he's facing the Final Boss.
Francois Nel/Getty ImagesBoxing fans received some knockout news on Thursday with the announcement that YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul would face the iconic Mike Tyson in a match.
Mike Tyson, 57, is arguably one of the greatest boxers of all time. The youngest heavyweight champion, he is known by many monikers such as “Kid Dynamite,” “Iron Mike,” and “The Baddest Man on the Planet.” He ruled the sport in the '80s and '90s as a ferocious fighter who knocked out nearly everyone he faced.
“It’s crazy to think that in my second pro fight, I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson’s undercard,” Paul said in the video. “Now, less than four years later, I’m stepping up to face Tyson myself to see if I have what it takes to beat one of boxing’s most notorious fighters and biggest icons.
Hall-of-Fame boxer Roy Jones Jr., Tyson’s last opponent, confirmed that Iron Mike still has knockout power at 57.
