Everybody is talking about the upcoming Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight. Well, not everybody. Truth be told, many real boxing fans aren’t into it, since it seems almost like a gimmick. But, nostalgia is everything, and plenty of Tyson fans are excited for this matchup. Now, new details have emerged about the upcoming fight, and we have an idea of how it’ll be different from your typical boxing match. Here’s the latest on what to know about the upcoming Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight.

Details on the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul Fight

The Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight is schedule for Saturday, July 20, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Those watching from home will be able to stream the match live on Netflix. This fight is the real deal, as the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations recently announced that it’s sanctioning this as a professional fight. That means it counts in the scheme of pro boxing.

The age difference is staggering. Tyson is 57 years old and will 58 by the time the fight takes places. Paul is 27 and just starting his career as a professional boxer.

Tyson hasn’t been in the ring for years, so some fans and boxing experts are understandably worried about his health. But, Tyson wants to do it.

Speaking about the fans and boxing experts who think this fight is a band move, Tyson said (via ClutchPoints.com), “The people who said [it shouldn’t go ahead] wish they were up here. Because no one else can do it. Who else can do this? Who else can shut the sporting world down, no one else can do it. So you got the both of us. We’re friends, but in that ring we’re not going to be friends.”

At least Tyson is able to shape the boxing fight a bit. The rules for the upcoming fight are different, largely at Mike Tyson’s request. The fight will consist of eight two-minute rounds, instead of the usual three-minute rounds. The fighters will also wear 14-ounce gloves instead of the usual 10-ounce.

Tyson has come out and said that he wanted the length of the rounds changed, but he hasn’t commented on whether the gloves were also changed for him.

So, why did Tyson want to change the length of the rounds? He was asked that question during the recent launch press conference. In response, Tyson said, “I wanted shorter rounds for more action.” He added, “If we have shorter rounds, we’ll fight more. More action.” Paul has some clips from the press conference posted on socials, showing the two trying to talk up the fight and rivalry.

Both Tyson and Paul should rake in some major dough form this fight, regardless of who wings. Currently, tickets on the secondary market range from $107 to more than $55,000, although most tickets are nowhere near as high as $55,000. Currently, ringside seats are listed costing just over $2,500. The rest of the card for the July 20 fight features lightweight Amanda Serrano against Katie Taylor and cruiserweight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. against Darren Till.
