Jake Paul is done fighting obscure boxers, at least for now.
His next opponent: Mike Tyson.
The two will fight July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys, and the bout will be livestreamed by Netflix, according to a news release issued Thursday by Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), co-founded by Paul.
Paul, 27, is coming off a first-round TKO over Ryan Bourland Friday, following a first-round knockout of Andre August Dec. 20. As a pro boxer, Paul is 9-1 with six knockouts.

Tyson, 57, has not fought professionally since losing to Kevin McBride in 2005. But in 2020, he fought Roy Jones Jr. to a draw in a four-round exhibition.
Paul fought on that undercard and in his second pro fight knocked out retired NBA standout Nate Robinson.
“Now, less than four years later, I’m stepping up to face Tyson myself to see if I have what it takes to beat one of boxing’s most notorious fighters and biggest icons,” Paul said, according to the news release.
Tyson, the former undisputed world heavyweight champion, said he is “looking forward to stepping into the ring with Paul.’’
“He's grown significantly as a boxer over the years," Tyson said, according to the news release. "So it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a 'kid' can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT."
