The fight is scheduled for July 20 at AT&T Stadium
Legendary heavyweight boxer, Mike Tyson, is slated to make his highly anticipated return to the ring later this year.
The July 20 bout against YouTube star-turned-boxer Jake Paul, inside AT&T Stadium in suburban Dallas, will mark Tyson's first fight in almost four years.
While reaction to the fight varied greatly, former Pittsburgh Steelers star-turned-boxer Le'Veon Bell believes the upcoming fight will end with a knockout.

Bell believes "Iron Mike" will have a strong showing early on but will eventually "tire and get knocked out." The former NFL runningback took to X to respond to a video of Robert Griffin III sparing with the 57-year-old Tyson.
Bell's premise seems to revolve primarily around the age gap between Tyson and Paul.

Several months ago, Bell appeared to challenge Paul to a fight and expressed confidence about defeating the social media star.
"I will stop him. I will stop Jake Paul," Bell said on the 'No Jumper" podcast in August. "It's hard to knock somebody out if they don't want to be knocked out. . . . he's not doing eight rounds with me. There's nobody in that influencer s--t that's making it eight rounds with me, for a fact."

Bell's last appearance in the NFL happened in 2021 during his stint with the Tampa Bay Buccaners. He had his best years as a professional football player when he was a member of the Steelers. He was named to three All-Pro teams and was a three-time Pro Bowler in Pittsburgh.
But Bell hasn't fared quite as well in the boxing world. He has a 1-1 record in his limited time as a boxer. He also faced Adrian Peterson in an exhibition, which Bell won by knockout.
Tyson released a statement saying he was excited about "stepping into the ring" to face Paul.
"I'm very much looking forward to stepping into the ring with Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas," Tyson said. "He's grown significantly as a boxer over the years, 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. It's a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch; as I started him off on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones, and now I plan to finish him."
Netflix will stream the fight on July 20.
