Was Jake Paul born when Mike Tyson won his first world championship? How old was Paul when Tyson bit Evander Holyfield's ear?

With the news that Jake Paul will fight Mike Tyson on July 20, there are some stark differences between the two fighters that need to be reckoned with.

Paul most recently fought Ryan Bourland to win with a first-round knockout, but apart from Tommy Fury, he is yet to fight a big name in professional boxing, and all but two of his wins have come against opponents who are not predominantly known for their expertise in the ring.

Tyson, however, is a former world champion, and once the most feared man on the planet. The 57-year-old has had moments of huge success and times where he has struggled to get by, but now appears to have settled on a path forward.

A recent exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr. showed that he could still get back into fearsome shape when the occasion called for it, and the sheer pedigree of the man means that he could still pose a threat.

Paul was born on January 17, 1997, while Tyson became world champion in 1986 against Trevor Berbick to win the WBC championship.

Five months after Paul was born, Tyson was banned for his infamous ear-biting against Evander Holyfield.

When the pair come together this summer, will history be made again?

“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.”
