It will be Tyson's first fight in four years, having previously drawn an exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr in 2020.
As for Paul, he'll be hoping to continue his impressive start to his boxing career - with 10 victories from 11 clashes to his name so far.

Froch, however, isn't a fan of the fight.
The Briton, speaking exclusively to GB News via Casino.org, has launched a stinging attack on Paul and insists it's written in the contract that he 'can't lose'.
There is, however, nothing to substantiate those claims.
"I think it's a scripted fight and will last three or four rounds. Jake Paul will definitely win; Tyson might start well but then he'll fall over," he said.

"Paul can't lose. It's in the contract, he can't lose. He is a useless w****r."
Froch was then asked if defeat would tarnish Tyson's legacy.
The boxing icon is widely seen as one of the best heavyweights of all time, perhaps second to only Muhammad Ali.
Tyson has insisted he doesn't care one jot about what his defeat to Paul will do for his reputation, insisting he's going up against the 27-year-old because he likes 'risk'.
And though Froch doesn't fear for Tyson's legacy, he's expressed a belief that Paul shouldn't brag if he does come out on top.
"I don't think so, no," he added.
"I think he's unlikely to grab the microphone and start bragging after beating up an old man. If he does, he really does have more deluded energy than I thought.
"Mike Tyson is an iconic name after what he achieved in the sport when he was physically fit and capable, but not at the age of 58.

"I don't think Jake can take any credit, but I'm sure he will.
"I'm sure he'll tell everyone until their ears are bleeding that he's beaten Mike Tyson.
"A lot of his young demographic of fans and kids will have heard of Tyson, but they won't know about what he achieved back in the day, that he was the youngest ever heavyweight champion.
"He used to go into the ring with a killer mentality and mindset.

"He wasn't the best to ever do it, he got beat a few times. He retired in his early 40s, which was way too late. He's now nearly 60; that tells you everything you need to know.
"He's still fighting 20 years after retiring against this Tik-Tok dancer who calls himself Jake Paul, and they sanction it as a professional fight? It's pathetic, it's two-minute rounds. "Professional boxing is three-minute rounds, and Jake Paul, to my knowledge, doesn't have a pro license.
"Maybe he does, and maybe he could get hold of one. He could be a journeyman on the circuit at best. It's not a professional boxing match, it's a clown show in clown world, and it makes money. In the world we live in, if it makes money, then it makes sense."
