Mike Tyson is about to step back between the ropes.

The boxing legend will return to the ring next week for a showdown with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The Tyson-Paul fight was announced in March and originally scheduled for July 20. But the fight was postponed in late May after Tyson experienced an injury flare-up.

Tyson, the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the triple belt era, will now compete in his first professional bout in nearly two decades. And he will do it at the age of 58 against a boxer who is over 30 years younger.

Paul, 27, has won 10 of 11 fights since making his boxing debut in 2020. Paul’s opponents have ranged from MMA fighters like Anderson Silva to boxers like Tyron Woodley. He even wrestled — and knocked out — former NBA player Nate Robinson.

Now “The Problem Child” will face “The Baddest Man on the Planet” in a highly anticipated match. Will Paul take down one of the sport’s greats? Or will Tyson return with a win?
