Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are getting ready for a big fight. The YouTuber-turned-boxer will face the legendary "Iron Mike" on July 20 at AT&T; Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The match was first set for earlier in July, but Tyson had to delay it because of an ulcer problem after a medical issue on a plane. Now, it's all set to be the first live boxing event on Netflix.

Paul, who's 27, started boxing professionally in 2020 and has a record of 10 wins and 1 loss. Tyson, at 58, hasn't been in a professional fight since 2005. A lot of people are worried about Tyson's age and how long he's been away from the ring.

Lennox Lewis, who beat Tyson back in 2002, thinks Paul might be in for a tough time. In a chat with YSM Sports Media, Lewis even said he'd be up for fighting Paul himself:

"Yes. If Jake Paul wants some I'll give it to him."

Lewis hasn't fought since 2004, but he seems ready to jump back in if Paul's interested.

This fight is getting a lot of attention, both good and bad. Some fans can't wait to see it, while others are worried about Tyson fighting at his age.

You can find more details about the fight, including how to watch it and the rules, on ESPN's website.

Whether you think it's a good idea or not, this fight is sure to be one of the biggest boxing events of the year. We'll have to wait and see what happens when the YouTuber and the legend step into the ring together.
