The boxing world was surprised by the fight announcement between Mike Tyson, a legend of the sport, and Jake Paul, a digital influencer who ventures into the ring. The two met for the first time last Thursday (7), at an event promoted by Netflix, which broadcasts the fight on July 20, in Arlington (USA).
The look between the two was filled with expectation and production. Tyson, 57, was already on top of a building when Paul, 27, arrived by helicopter. The two stood face to face, without exchanging words, but with challenging looks. The scene was recorded by cameras and drones, and published on the fighters' social networks and the streaming platform.
