Former world champion Mike Tyson says his boxing match against YouTuber Jake Paul on July 20 will be an exhibition bout and not an official fight.

Tyson, whose professional career ended in 2005, will turn 58 three weeks before facing the 27-year old Paul in Texas.

Paul beat Ryan Bourland in his 10th professional fight last month.

The contest – which will not count to their professional records if it is an exhibition – will broadcast live on streaming platform Netflix.

It will take place at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium, home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, which has a seating capacity of 80,000.
