Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will make history in more ways than one when they meet in the ring.
Tyson and Paul will be putting their records on the line as the match is a professionally sanctioned fight. Tyson will be fighting professionally for the first time since 2005 with a 50-6 record, 44 wins coming via knockout.
Paul, a former YouTube streamer, is 10-1 with seven knockouts. His lone loss came in 2023 against Tommy Fury.
But perhaps the biggest factor is the age disparity between the two, which spans just over three decades. Here's what to know about the biggest age gaps in a boxing match:

Tyson is 58 years old. He was born on June 30, 1966.
How old is Jake Paul?

"Old Mongoose" Archie Moore suited up for his last professional bout at age 49, taking on 25-year-old "Iron" Mike DiBiase (adoptive father of WWE icon Ted DiBiase) in 1963. It was also DiBiase's last professional fight, as Moore won in a knockout.
