Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson: Everything there is to know as the influencer is set to take on one of the greatest boxers of all time on Netflix

In a shocking turn of events, influencer boxing star Jake Paul is set take on one of the greatest boxers of all time in Mike Tyson.

Paul, who has been very vocal about his desire to improve as a boxer and move into the professional ranks, boasts a 9-1 with his only loss coming against Tommy Fury.

Many within the boxing world will need no reminding of Tyson's accolades, the Brooklyn native holding a career record of 50-6-2 including 44 knockouts.

And now, despite the 30-year age-gap between the two fighters, they are on a collision course for the AT&T stadium in Arlington, Texas.

With all the brazen confidence we have seen from Jake Paul in the past, it may not come as a surprise to many that the 27-year-old has vowed to put his opponent 'to sleep.' when they meet.
