The exhibition boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is set for Friday, Nov. 15, with the massive AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas playing host. The hotly anticipated contest will be available to stream on Netflix, ensuring that fans worldwide will be able to tune in.
The bout between the former YouTuber and ex-heavyweight champion had to be rescheduled from a planned July date after Tyson endured a medical emergency on a flight in May. Doctors advised Tyson to reduce his training load due to a flare-up of a stomach ulcer. However, both parties remain intent on the match, with the home of the Dallas Cowboys still set to host the fight, which was moved back four months.
In the meantime, Paul moved to ensure a July fight against a new opponent, with the 27-year-old set to take on MMA veteran Mike Perry in Florida next week.
