Several combat sports enthusiasts were taken aback by the news and took to social media to share their thoughts on it.
Fans started making their picks for the fight on 'X', formerly known as Twitter.
One person argued that Tyson looked good in his fight against Roy Jones Jr. and would give 'The Problem Child' a hard time inside the boxing ring.
"If you saw Tyson vs. Roy Jones [Jr.] the other year, you'd know Jake Paul is in for an absolute beat down."
A few more fans picked 'Iron' to emerge victorious in the encounter and also made predictions regarding the round in which the fight would be stopped.
"Tyson by 4th round KO."
"I love this s**t. Mike on 1st by KO."
Others believed that the fight would be a one-sided affair in favor of Paul and would not go past the opening round.
"Jake is gonna have another highlight-reel first-round KO. Mike won't see round 2."

Michael Bisping reacts to Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson
The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight announcement has been receiving a lot of backlash from people on social media. One of the main reasons is the massive age difference between the two athletes.
Paul is 27 years old whereas 'Iron' will turn 58 this year. One of the people criticizing this fight is none other than former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping.
'The Count' responded to the YouTuber-turned-boxer's fight announcement post and said that Paul should be ashamed of his actions.
"You should be ashamed of yourself. And the biggest joke is you don’t even slightly realize why."
MMA personality Dillon Danis echoed Bisping's sentiment in a social media post.
"You're fighting someone who was born in 1966. Have some shame."
