The epic battle between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will finally commence later this week in Texas, with the spectacle showcasing seven fights in total at AT&T Stadium.
In the lead up to the fight, Netflix released a documentary as Paul and Tyson prepare for the fight. In one clip, Tyson watched Paul call him out after the YouTuber-turned-boxer defeated Mike Perry in his last bout over the summer.

Tyson laughed as Paul declared himself the new face of the sport.
"There’s a fundamental difference between me and Jake," Tyson said in the documentary. "He’s a manufactured killer. Television and papers made him a killer. He’s manufactured. I’m a natural-born killer. That’s the difference."

The highly anticipated fight will occur Friday night. It has been a long time coming, as the bout was initially supposed to commence in July. However, Tyson suffered a medical episode which led to the date being pushed back. In the interim, Paul knocked out Perry in Florida.
Despite the health concerns of a 58-year-old Tyson stepping in between the ropes to face off against a 27-year-old Paul, "Iron Mike" revealed back in July why he wants to do the fight.
"I’m a glory junkie. I love people thinking about me all day," Tyson told Esquire an interview before he suffered a medical emergency on a flight. "I’d rather live a short life of glory than a long life of obscurity. It’s just who I am.

"This is all I started fighting for – to get all this f---ing status," he later continued. "I’m going to be chasing it for the rest of my life. I know that. I’m never going to get what I want, because I’m one of those gluttons for pain. I can never get enough."
