Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul will now take place on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This highly anticipated bout, originally scheduled for July 20, was postponed due to Tyson’s medical issues. The event will be streamed live on Netflix.

Reason for Postponement

The initial delay was caused by Tyson experiencing an ulcer flare-up during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. He reported nausea and dizziness, leading doctors to recommend a period of minimal training.

“The recommendation is for Mike Tyson to do minimal to light training over the next few weeks and then return to full training with no limitations,” stated Most Valuable Promotions

Official Statements

Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions, expressed gratitude for the cooperation of all involved parties in rescheduling the match:

“Our team has worked diligently with all parties involved to reschedule this monumental fight to a date that ensures both Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are fully prepared, with equal training time, as well as allowing us to keep the event at AT&T Stadium in the midst of the Cowboys season,” Bidarian said

Paul and Tyson confirmed the new date on social media. Tyson assured his readiness and determination:

“Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly. I am thankful to the medical staff that treated me and to MVP, Netflix, and AT&T Stadium for working diligently to find the best reschedule date for all parties,” Tyson said. “While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight. Jake Paul is getting knocked out. On Friday, Nov. 15, watch this in-person at AT&T Stadium or live on Netflix”
