Mike Tyson has been tipped to join an exclusive club with only four members thanks to his upcoming fight with Jake Paul.

On July 20, Tyson will come out of retirement and take on Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The fight is set to be streamed on the popular platform, Netflix, who wrote on social media: “It’s JAKE PAUL vs. MIKE TYSON — yes, really! — in a LIVE BOXING event at AT&T Stadium you won’t want to miss. Airing live on Netflix Saturday, July 20 #PaulTyson.”

Last month, it was confirmed that the fight would officially be classified as a sanctioned, heavyweight professional fight despite Tyson claiming it would be an exhibition.

Ahead of his bout with Paul, Tyson has been tipped to become a billionaire in a few years, due to his cannabis business and increased popularity after the fight.

According to research conducted by CBD brand Spruce and opinions from industry experts, Tyson could become the heavyweight champion of the celebrity cannabis business world, and a billionaire within three years.

In 2023, Iron Mike’s cannabis company tripled revenues to over $160 million and his worldwide Google search popularity has gone up by more than 500% since his fight announcement.

If Tyson does become a billionaire, he would only be the fifth sportsperson to reach the landmark after Magic Johnson, LeBron James, Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan.

Ahead of the fight, Tyson said: “I don’t think he’s faster than me. I’ve seen a YouTube of him at 16 doing weird dances, that’s not the guy I’m going to be fighting.

“This guy’s gonna come, he’s gonna try and hurt me which I’m accustomed to and he’s gonna be greatly mistaken.”

He added: “Right now, I’m scared to death but as the fight gets closer, the less nervous I become because it’s reality, and in reality, I’m invincible.”
