The 57-year-old Tyson’s Tyson’s last bout came in an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr, a night that his fellow American was on the undercard against former NBA player Nate Robinson.

The Problem Child, 27, produced a brutal first round knock out of Ryan Bourland over the weekend in his last fight.

Paul has won his last three bouts since his defeat to Tommy Fury last February but will now face one of the greatest boxers of all time.

And the venue that will stage the epic showdown could not be any bigger or better.

The 80,000 AT&T Stadium is described as “the largest, most technologically advanced entertainment venue in the world”.

It is the home of NFL team the Dallas Cowboys and is located in Arlington, Texas.

It is one of the stadiums that will be used for the 2026 Fifa World Cup and will stage one of the semi-finals.

It has also been reported that on a single game day, AT&T Stadium uses more electricity than the entire country of Liberia.

And it is no wonder when you consider that it boasts the world’s largest HDTV, measuring a mega 160 feet wide and 72 feet tall, with over 3,000 televisions dotted around the ground.

The incredible venue, which started to be constructed in 2009, also features a retractable roof, which allows events to take place no matter the weather.

And with temperatures reaching 35°C in the summer, Tyson and Paul may be grateful for some shade from the Texas sun.

The stadium can also be reconfigured to increase its capacity to 100,000 people.

It was designed by HKS and built by Manhattan Construction and features two monumental arches along with the largest retractable end zone doors in the world. 

It boasts 300 luxury suites and club seating on multiple levels but there is also plenty outside of the stands.

There is a huge Miller Lite House that has a 70-yard turf field that features field games, four video boards and over 60 TV screens plus over 87,000 outdoor square-footage for event day experiences. 

That space also has two beer gardens and a walk-in beer cooler. 

And it seems that Tyson, who became the youngest heavyweight champion ever aged just 20, cannot wait to perform there.

He said: “I’m very much looking forward to stepping into the ring with Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

“He’s grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a ‘kid’ can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT.

“It’s a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch; as I started him on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones and now I plan to finish him.”
