On April 30, Beijing time, the 58-year-old heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson officially confirmed his return to the ring after 19 years. He will be confirmed to have a boxing bout against 27-year-old American influencer Jake Paul on July 20 this year, which is confirmed to be an official bout rather than an exhibition bout.

According to the confirmation of the promoter of the event and the economic companies of both boxers, the rules of this match have been finalized. Both will wear 14-ounce boxing gloves. Engage in an 8-round, 2-minute fight.

It's important to note that this is not an exhibition match. The website of the local tournament regulatory authority (Texas Licensing & Regulatory Authority) also confirmed that the bout was an official professional boxing match. The result of this match will be recorded in Tyson's career record.

Born in 1966, Tyson was the youngest heavyweight boxing champion in the world and is considered one of the best heavyweight boxers in the world. On June 11, 2005, Tyson unexpectedly lost to the little-known McBride. One day later, Tyson officially announced his retirement. Tyson has a career record of 50-6, with 44 of those victories coming by knockout.

In 2020, Tyson announced his comeback through a video on social media, but he never participated in any official competitions. And in March this year, he finally confirmed his return to the ring, and will face the 31-year-old Internet celebrity boxer. As of now, Jack Paul has a 9-1 boxing record with 6 knockouts. Although Jack Paul's record is far inferior to Tyson's, and Tyson also has a technical and tactical advantage and on-court experience, there is no doubt that Paul's age and fitness will prevail.
