Jake Paul is set to face a legendary figure in the boxing world…
Who is three decades older than him.
At 27 years old, Paul, with a record of 9-1, is gearing up to enter the ring against the legendary former undisputed heavyweight champion, 57-year-old Mike Tyson, who boasts a record of 50-6.
The fight is scheduled for July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Fans all around the world can catch the action live as well, as it will be streaming exclusively on Netflix.
However, a part of the boxing and fighting community isn’t exactly happy with the match announcement.
In fact, they’re somewhat outraged by it.
Check out some of the social media posts and the community’s thoughts. What would you say about the matchups?

Mike Tyson was DQ’d for biting Evander Holyfield in his 48th pro bout just sixth months after Jake Paul was BORN in 1997. https://t.co/8DohouypJq

What world are we living in?! Jake always talks about helping UFC fighter pay and making boxing great again. But then just always looks to exploit the older fighters for his gain. There’s no respect anymore for lines not to be crossed. https://t.co/grmkMif87K

You should be ashamed of yourself. And the biggest joke is you don’t even slightly realize why. https://t.co/If8X3xuF52

You’re fighting someone who was born in 1966. Have some shame. https://t.co/jLBC3marOO
