The YouTuber-turned-boxer has regularly claimed he has what it takes to become a boxing world champion, but those ambitions are paused as Tyson, at the age of 58, makes his return.
The bout has been sanctioned as a professional fight, meaning this will go on the records of both men.
Paul is 10-1 as a professional, with his sole defeat coming against Tommy Fury, who was the first boxer he had faced.
Since then, there have been low-key wins over Ryan Bourland and Andre August, as well as victories against Nate Diaz and Mike Perry in the type of crossover bouts that have characterised Paul’s career.
What is Jake Paul’s net worth?
Paul is said to have a net worth of an estimated £62million.
That has been accumulated through his years as a YouTuber and influencer, and in particular in the boxing ring in recent years.
Paul reportedly took home more than £6m for fighting Tommy Fury, including pay-per-view split and sponsorships, and is in line for another huge night against Tyson.
Speaking at a press conference earlier this year, Paul said: “I’m here to make 40 million dollars and knock out a legend. I don’t give a f*** about anything else.”
