Jake Paul, Mike Tyson Confirmed for Boxing Card

Paul to Face Hasim Rahman Jr., Tyson to Fight in Exhibition Bout

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul will face Hasim Rahman Jr. on August 6th at Madison Square Garden in New York City, according to multiple reports.

Paul (5-0, 4 KOs) was originally scheduled to fight Tommy Fury, but Fury pulled out of the bout due to a visa issue. Rahman Jr. (12-1, 6 KOs) is a late replacement and will be making his professional boxing debut.

In addition to Paul vs. Rahman Jr., the card will also feature an exhibition bout between former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr.

Rahman Jr. a Worthy Opponent for Paul

Despite being a late replacement, Rahman Jr. is no pushover.

The 31-year-old is the son of former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman and has a solid boxing pedigree. He is also a former sparring partner of Paul's.

While Paul is the more experienced boxer, Rahman Jr. has the size and power advantage. He is also a southpaw, which could give Paul some problems.

Tyson-Jones Jr. Exhibition Bout a Throwback

The exhibition bout between Tyson and Jones Jr. is sure to be a nostalgic event for boxing fans.

Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) is one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, while Jones Jr. (66-9, 47 KOs) is a multiple-division world champion.

The two legends will be fighting at a catchweight of 220 pounds. The bout is scheduled for eight rounds.
