LIVE: Follow Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson updates from Netflix fight
Paul (10-1) has primarily fought MMA fighters. "The Problem Child" lost to pro boxer Tommy Fury but beat journeyman boxers Andre August and Ryan Bourland handily. A YouTuber, Paul is essentially a disrupter in the sport and is ready to face an icon in front of thousands of people in Texas and millions watching worldwide.
Tyson (50-6), 58, is a former undisputed heavyweight champion. The Hall of Famer last competed professionally in 2005 when he was stopped by unheralded Irishman Kevin McBride. This fight against Paul was delayed a few months following a Tyson health scare.

Despite his age, health, and the odds against him, Tyson is still ready to compete. He has a sense of anxiousness, but this is something he's learned to manage over the decades.
"I've been doing this for years. Since a teenager. So it's just a form of anticipation. And that could be a form of nervousness and fear, too. But it never goes away, no matter how old you are," Tyson said via Essentially Sports.
The biggest rematch in women's boxing history will take place on the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson undercard. Meanwhile, several other titles are on the line, and young fighters look to impress.
