New date announced for Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match

The much-discussed Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match on Netflix will now take place on Friday, November 15th after needing to be rescheduled due to a recent Tyson medical issue.

The event will still emanate from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with the same Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano co-main event rematch.

The decision to move was announced last week following Tyson suffering what was called ulcer complications after boarding a flight. It was stated that Tyson’s doctors instructed him to take it light on training for a period of time that caused concern due to the timeframe in which the July 20th fight was originally set to take place.

The fight between the 58-year-old Tyson and the 27-year-old Paul was first announced in early-March. It will be Tyson’s first fight of any kind since a November 2020 exhibition boxing bout with Roy Jones Jr. which was preceded by a 15-year-gap of inactivity.
