Tyson, 57, has not fought professionally since losing to Kevin McBride in 2005. But in 2020, he fought Roy Jones Jr. to a draw in a four-round exhibition.

“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,” Paul said, according to the news release.
Tyson, the former undisputed world heavyweight champion, said he is “looking forward to stepping into the ring with Paul.’’
“He's grown significantly as a boxer over the years," Tyson said, according to the news release. "So it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a 'kid' can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT."
