Tickets for the fight between legendary boxer Mike Tyson and social media influencer turned boxer Jake Paul will go on sale at noon on Thursday, May 16 at SeatGeek.com.
Organizers said an unprecedented 120,000 people have signed up for presale access, hoping to see the bout in person on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
The fight, which will be sanctioned as a professional bout, will be eight rounds, consisting of two minutes each. Tyson last fought in an exhibition match in 2020, but his last professional fight took place in 2005.
The Tyson-Paul fight isn't the only bout on the card. Fighters Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) and featherweight champ Amanda Serrano (46-2-1, 30 KOs) will also square off in a rematch. The two previously achieved the first-ever sold-out women's headline boxing event at Madison Square Garden where Taylor beat Serrano in a tight split decision.
