YouTube sensation Jake Paul and former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson will finally face off on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The fight was originally scheduled for July but was postponed due to Tyson’s health issues.
Tyson, who is turning 58 on June 30, suffered an ulcer flare-up on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles last month, leading to his medical treatment and the postponement of the fight. Despite the setback, Tyson is eager to resume training and has expressed his confidence in knocking out Paul.
The fight will be streamed by Netflix, and Paul, 27, will go up against Tyson in an eight-round professional fight sanctioned by Texas boxing officials. Tyson’s last professional fight was in 2005, and despite concerns from other fighters about his well-being, Tyson is determined to get back in the ring.
The rescheduled date falls on a Friday to allow time for the stadium to be prepared for a Monday night NFL game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans. Both fighters are gearing up for what promises to be an intense showdown between the seasoned veteran and the up-and-coming YouTube star.
