Tyson had a 50-6 record with 44 knockouts during his professional career, which ended in 2005. He most recently fought in a 2020 exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. and will be 58 years old at the time of the fight when he faces the 27-year-old Paul, who is 9-1 in his boxing career. Paul fought former NBA player Nate Robinson in the undercard of the Tyson-Jones fight. Now, he will have a chance to fight the boxing legend."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."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.
