The bout will last eight, two-minute rounds with both boxers wearing heavier gloves. The idea is that the gloves will theoretically reduce the force of the blows. Who it will benefit more is up for debate.

While some question the fight’s legitimacy – Tyson at 58 and Paul at 27 – the results will be significant. It will count on both of their records. Tyson retired with a 50-6 record and 44 knockouts after losing to Kevin McBride 19 years ago, while Paul debuted four years ago and enters the ring with a 10-1 record.
