AceShowbiz - Mike Tyson is set to return to the ring to fight Jake Paul. The former heavyweight champ will face the YouTuber at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on July 20, and he's looking forward to "finishing" the Internet personality.

In a statement, the 57-year-old said, "I'm very much looking forward to stepping into the ring with Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington." He added, "He's grown significantly as a boxer over the years. So it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a 'kid' can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT."

"It's a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch" the former professional boxer, who had a 50-6 record with 44 knockouts during his professional career, continued, "as I started him on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones and now I plan to finish him."

Jake, for his part, stated, "It's crazy to think that in my second pro fight, I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson's undercard." He then noted, "Now, less than four years later, I'm stepping up to face Tyson myself to see if I have what it takes to beat one of boxing's most notorious fighters and biggest icons."

"My sights are set on becoming a world champion," the younger brother of Logan Paul further noted, "and now I have a chance to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion ever, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time. This will be the fight of a lifetime."

The event will air on Netflix. Of the boxing match, Nakisha Bidarian, co-founder of Paul's Most Valuable Promotions, said in a statement, "Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is a once-in-a-lifetime dream matchup and I anticipate it will be the most-watched boxing event in modern boxing history."
