The fight will follow the rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano in the already confirmed co-main event.
Paul announced the long-awaited rematch in a video shared with X after his older brother Logan revealed he was expecting his first child.
The 27-year-old wrote: “Ever since Logan announced his baby I’ve wanted to make my own announcement…a gift for everyone.”
He also attached a clip of himself next to a baby carriage in which he said: “Katie Taylor x Amanda Serrano. The rematch.
“Like the co-main event between me and Mike Tyson. July 20th. Dallas, Texas. This event just got bigger.”
Taylor beat Serrano by split decision at Maddison Square Garden in their first meeting in April 2022.
The fight is seen as one of the greatest women’s boxing fights of all time.
