Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, who will turn 58 in June, is set to return to the ring to face Jake Paul on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Tyson's last competitive bout was in 2005, resulting in a TKO loss to Kevin McBride. In November 2020, Tyson engaged in an eight-round exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr., which ended in a draw.
Known as 'The Baddest Man on the Planet' during his prime, Tyson was an undisputed heavyweight champion and one of the most feared fighters in boxing history. He still holds the record as the youngest heavyweight champion.
