A highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is set to take place on July 20th in Arlington, Texas, marking it as a significant event in the sports world. The Texas Commission is currently deliberating whether the match will be officially sanctioned as a professional bout or if it will proceed as an exhibition match, similar to Tyson's previous fight against Roy Jones Jr. Regardless of the decision, which was reported by @ArielHelwani, it has been confirmed by Jake's MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian that the fighters will not be wearing headgear, emphasizing the seriousness of the competition. This match is drawing considerable attention, not only for its potential impact on the boxing industry but also for its entertainment value, with Netflix reportedly looking to capitalize on the event. The absence of headgear and the possibility of using 18oz gloves are among the major rule changes highlighted, adding to the anticipation surrounding the fight. Mike Tyson, at the age of 57, has been noted for his impressive physical condition as he prepares for the bout, generating further interest and speculation about the outcome.
