Did Jake Paul bite off more than he can chew by bringing Mike Tyson out of retirement? The 27-year-old doesn’t think so. With a 9-1 professional record and fights against notable opponents like Nate Diaz, Tommy Fury, and Anderson Silva, Paul is confident in his abilities.

### ‘My Ultimate Test Of Warfare’
Tyson presents a unique challenge for Paul, given his extensive championship experience and formidable “old man strength.” Despite being 58 years old at the time of their fight, Tyson remains a dangerous opponent. Paul acknowledges this, telling TMZ, “Absolutely, Tyson is the toughest fight of my career thus far. Moving up to heavyweight, dealing with Tyson’s power, experience, tenacity, and veteran tricks, fighting in a stadium on Netflix—it’s my ultimate test of warfare and that excites me.”

### More Eyeballs Than Usual
The fight, set for July 20th, will be the first combat sports event to air live on Netflix, which boasts over 270 million subscribers worldwide. The venue, AT&T Stadium in Texas, can hold up to 93,000 spectators, promising a massive live audience and potentially hundreds of millions of viewers globally. Paul remarked, “It’s crazy to think about. The stadium could be packed to the brim, and the global viewership could be in the hundreds of millions. Netflix’s involvement makes this a trifecta of audiences—Netflix’s, mine, and Mike Tyson’s.”

Despite the high-profile platform, Paul has no plans to take it easy on Tyson. He respects Tyson’s reputation as one of the most ferocious and violent fighters in history. Paul stated, “Absolutely not. If Tyson has the chance to finish me in embarrassing fashion, he will. I have to match that energy. Tyson is a killer, ruthless, the most vicious champion ever. I have to channel that Mike Tyson energy to finish him. The legend must fall.”
