Tyson and Paul will go head-to-head on July, 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL\u2018s Dallas Cowboys. The fight will be streamed live on Netflix, with the likes of Tyson Fury praising the bout as being \u201cfantastic for boxing\u201c.

Sean Strickland hits out at Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson Taking to social media, Strickland wrote: \u201cJake Paul and Mike Tyson game planning to hide the fact this is pathetic. \u201cSo we have to make people believe you [Tyson] have a chance, we have to make people believe that you\u2019re not 60 [sic, 57] and this is isn\u2019t the most pathetic thing I\u2019ve ever done\u201d.\u201d When put to him that Tyson has a \u201cpuncher\u2019s chance\u201d, Strickland was categorical in his reply. \u201cNaaa man,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s [Tyson\u2019s] 60. You ever train with a 60-year-old?! Lmao I haven\u2019t.\u201d Strickland is not the only one who has been critical of the match-up between Paul and Tyson. Anthony Joshua\u2019s promoter, Eddie Hearn, called the fight a \u201cfreak show\u201d as he revealed that he may not even watch the bout.
