No exhibition match, it will be a professional fight

Now è official. The long-awaited match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, scheduled to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, next July 20, will not be an exhibition match but a real professional fight, as requested, loudly, especially by the 58-year-old Iron Mike

Mike Tyson is training relentlessly to be ready for match day. He said he is no longer using marijuana and has been abstaining from sex for weeks to find the best concentration to face former youtuber Jake Paul, 31 years his junior.

Bidarian, the match organizer, explained that è everything was done to get the necessary requirements, from the Texas commission, for the two boxers to fight a real match and not just an exhibition.

Mike Tyson has not fought a professional match since as far back as 2005, when è he was beaten in the ring by Kevin McBride. So, 19 years later, he will once again return to cross gloves in a real match. On the other side is 27-year-old Jake Paul who, to date, has a score of nine wins, six before the limit, and only one defeat. Iron Mike, in his career, has fought 50 times, with 44 total wins.
