Jake Paul and Mike Tyson were initially slated to face off on July 20, but the fight was postponed due to Tyson’s health concerns after an ulcer flareup. Now, their professional heavyweight bout has been rescheduled for November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and it will be streamed on Netflix.
Mike Tyson Vs Jake Paul, The Clash of Generations
The matchup pits the 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-pro boxer, Jake Paul (9-1), against the legendary former world heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson (50-6). Tyson, who hasn’t competed since his exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020, will be 58 years old when he steps into the ring. Meanwhile, Paul has transitioned from fighting notable UFC fighters to lesser-known professional boxers, with back-to-back first-round knockouts in his recent bouts.
Interestingly, the rescheduled fight will take place on a Friday, which is somewhat unorthodox for major boxing events. Nevertheless, fans worldwide are eagerly anticipating this clash between the “baddest man on the planet” and the “biggest disruptor in boxing.”
