The much-anticipated boxing match between legendary heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and social media sensation Jake Paul has been officially rescheduled for November 15. The event will take place at the iconic AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which is known for hosting major sporting events, including the Super Bowl.
The original fight date was set for July 20, but Tyson’s health issues prompted a necessary delay.
The 57-year-old boxing icon experienced a flare-up of an ulcer problem while traveling, which required medical attention. Tyson expressed gratitude towards the medical staff and the event organizers for their support in rescheduling the bout.

The fight will be streamed live exclusively on Netflix, requiring a paid subscription for viewers. In the UK, a standard subscription plan costs £10.99 per month, making it accessible for many fans eager to witness this historic matchup.
Despite not having fought professionally since 2005, Tyson has been training consistently and participated in an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020. Tyson remains confident about the upcoming fight, stating, “Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly. Jake Paul is getting knocked out.” Meanwhile, Paul, who has built a reputation in the boxing world by defeating mixed martial artists and lesser-known boxers, is preparing for the challenge. He stated, “When he steps into the ring with me, I will be ready to claim my W with a sensational finish.”
In light of the postponement, former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis voiced his support for Tyson, acknowledging the challenges of boxing at an older age but expressing confidence in Tyson’s abilities. The Texas boxing officials have sanctioned the fight as a legitimate bout, consisting of eight 2-minute rounds with specially designed heavy gloves.
