YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul is gearing up for his boxing return this July against one of the greatest boxers of all time, former Undisputed boxing champion Iron Mike Tyson. The boxing match will be streamed live for free on Netflix on July 20, 2024, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

A couple of days back, on the recent episode of BS With Jake Paul, he revealed that after fighting Mike Tyson, he will focus on his mixed martial arts debut as he signed with PFL mixed martial arts promotion and while talking about his MMA debut opponent, Jake dropped two UFC legends names. 

 "I am being so serious when I say I want to fight in MMA, either Masvidal or Diaz. Ten million offer, they will literally hide behind the fact Masvidal be like you can't even box."

Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman recently reacted to Jake Paul's claims about fighting Nate Diaz or Jorge Masvidal under mixed martial rules on his podcast Pound for Pound. 

Kamaru Usman said, "Honestly, at this point, I don't even know what to think anymore. I don't completely say it's a wash that (Jake) has no chance in there.Everybody has a chance, and like I said, the world is upside down for me right now it's not far fetched; it could happen."
