Paul and Tyson will clash in a professional fight this summer with the heavyweight legend coming out of a near 20-year retirement
YouTube sensation Paul will take on heavyweight legend Tyson in Texas in July in a controversial fight which will go on the fighters' respective professional records. Paul will be almost 30 years younger than Tyson who will have turned 58 by the time the first bell rings.
"He's a killer. I'm moving up to the heavyweight division so he's going to have some advantages but that's what's going to make this fight exciting. We both have one-punch knockout. This is what he was destined to do and what he was born for. And he was the one who wanted it to be a pro fight. We were figuring out the rules and Mike said, 'I want it to be a pro fight. I want to end this kid and stop everything he's doing.
