Boxing legend Mike Tyson is all set to fight influencer-turned-pugilist Jake Paul on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Texas' Arlington. However, amidst the flurry of headlines circulating on social media, one erroneous claim emerged stating that Jake Paul had officially canceled his fight against Mike Tyson, as per a USA Today report.
However, after verification by media outlets, it became evident that this headline was nothing more than a fabrication, lacking any factual basis.
AT&T Stadium is the home of the Dallas Cowboys and an official of the NFL side has confirmed USA Today that the official calendar event is on.
So, both Tyson and Paul's fans won't have to worry as the bout is all set to take place as per schedule.
Tyson will be 58 when he takes on Jake Paul on July 20 in Texas but he said fans are still clamouring to see the former heavyweight champion in action.
The bout between one of the most feared fighters in history and YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul will be held at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington and streamed live on Netflix.
"I'm 58 and what? I'm getting billions of views from just talking to somebody about fighting," Tyson told Reuters.
"Everybody, even most of the athletes, they're jealous, that's whack... I say in your prime you couldn't draw a million people, man. What are you talking, you couldn't sell out arena. Who at 58 could sell out an 80,000-seat arena?"
'Iron Mike', who has a 50-6 record with 44 knockouts, said the 27-year-old Paul recognises the public's enduring interest in him.
"Why you think he wants to fight me and not anybody else?" Tyson said of Paul, who has a 9-1 record with six knockouts.
