Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul: A dramatic return to the ring with stakes of life and death

Mike Tyson's first professional fight after a 19-year hiatus is quickly approaching. On July 20, the legendary boxer will face Jake Paul. The YouTuber, who has won 9 out of 10 matches in his career, stated that one in this rivalry must die.

After a long break, Mike Tyson will return to the ring. The bout will take place in the summer, specifically on July 20. The legendary boxer's opponent will be Jake Paul, who is 30 years younger.

Let's remember that 57-year-old Tyson last fought 19 years ago. For the two-time world champion, the loss to Kevin McBride was the last before ending his career, during which he won 50 out of 56 fights, including 44 by knockout.

Indeed, Tyson fought in an exhibition match with Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, but it ended in a controversial draw. Now, a serious fight with Paul, a YouTuber who has been training in boxing for a long time, is supposed to take place. So far, he has fought 10 bouts and lost only once.

"It's war. In love and war, everything is allowed. I love this guy, but as soon as it turns into a professional fight, one of us has to die," Paul said about their fight for Sky Sports.

He noted that he takes his fight with Tyson very seriously. A serious bout is precisely what the returning legend wanted to enter in professional sports.

Paul's bold words have made headlines. The world's biggest newspapers, such as Britain's "The Mirror" and America's "New York Post" are writing about him, highlighting the word about death in the ring in the headlines.
