Mike Tyson, Jake Paul make entrances to ring in Texas
The moment we all have been waiting for is finally here.
7,097 days since his last sanctioned fight, Mike Tyson has stepped back into the ring as a professional. Following his slap during the weigh-ins of his opponent, Jake Paul, Tyson began his Friday night in style.
Following the national anthem sung by Grammy award winning artist Tori Kelly, Paul made his way to the ring first. Paul, 27, approached the ring on a green lowrider with his brother, Logan Paul, beside him in the vehicle to the sounds of Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight.”

Once Paul was settled in the ropes, it was time for Tyson’s epic walkout in his return. He walked out to “We Don’t Give a F—” by Jadakiss, DMX and Styles P, with cheers erupting for the 58-year-old Tyson’s reunion with the ring.

The two were originally scheduled to square off in the ring on July 20. The fight was postponed after Tyson experienced a health issue on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles in May.
Tyson and Paul will go for eight rounds in 14 ounce gloves. Mark Calo-oy will officiate the fight.
