Mike Tyson will enter the ring as a professional fighter this July after it was confirmed earlier this week that his contest with Jake Paul will be an official pro fight.
The pair announced their fight earlier this year but there remained numerous question marks about the sanctioning of the contest and whether it would be an actual fight or an exhibition.
After making his debut in 1985, Tyson went on an incredible run that saw him become the world’s youngest heavyweight champion.
After legendary battles against the likes of Evander Holyfield, Frank Bruno, and Lennox Lewis, Tyson eventually retired in 2005 after losing to Kevin McBride.
Tempted back by Jake Paul, Tyson will concede many years of age to the popular YouTuber who is still a novice fighter.
Paul has earned some plaudits for picking the sport up quickly, but he endured his first defeat last year when he was outpointed by Tommy Fury.
