Mike Tyson, the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion, will return to the boxing ring for his first sanctioned professional fight since 2005, facing YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, who holds a 10-1 record, on Friday, November 15th. The bout will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will be streamed live globally on Netflix at 8 p.m. ET, free to all subscribers. The event is anticipated to be the highest-grossing combat sports gate in Texas history, surpassing $17.8 million in revenue. The fight has garnered significant attention as a "clash of eras" due to the age difference between Tyson and Paul, as well as a controversial incident during the weigh-in where Tyson slapped Paul after the younger fighter stepped on his foot.
