Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the arena, Tyson is being served.

Not Tyson as in chicken tenders, but Tyson as in Iron Mike Tyson, he of ear-biting fame and brute power.

Sometime, presumably this summer, Iron Mike will step into the ring against a 27-year-old dude named Jake Paul in what is being promoted as an “exhibition” bout. The match, or mismatch, will be carried live on Netflix, with the key promotion words “pay-per-view” in bold. Texas billionaire Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys and AT&T stadium where the bout is scheduled to be held will no doubt be on hand in the owner’s box with a group of suit and tie yes-sir men.
