Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is inching closer and the fans will have the first look at how the fighters stack up at the first press conference. Their fight scheduled for July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas will become the most-watched fight in boxing history. But before the official action takes place, it’s time for verbal warfare and back-and-forth.

The Most Valuable Promotions shared the official details of the first press conference on their Instagram post. The post disclosed that New York’s iconic Apollo Theatre will welcome ‘Iron Mike’ and ‘The Problem Child’ on May 13, Monday. Notably, this will be the first time two will have a face-off.

In addition, the duo of Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor will also grace the stage. Their fight will act as a supporting act to the headliner in Paul vs. Tyson. If you want to catch them live in New York, you might have to wait till the theatre’s door opens to everyone at 4:30 pm (ET). While the event will start an hour later, the presser is for the fans, so entry is also free. Amusingly, some lucky fans will also be picked to ask some questions and have an interaction with the boxing stars.
