Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson Rescheduled for November

The boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson officially has a new date.

After the originally scheduled July fight was postponed due to Tyson’s airplane medical scare, the anticipated fight has been rescheduled for November 15 at AT&T Stadium.

“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,” Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions, said in a statement. “We appreciate the outstanding dedication, collaboration, and flexibility of our partners at Netflix and AT&T Stadium. Paul vs. Tyson is the most cross-generational sporting event in history, and we are committed to providing fans worldwide with this unforgettable night of boxing, live globally on Netflix. We look forward to seeing everyone on Friday, November 15 for a showdown that will be talked about for generations to come.”

Tyson, who will turn 58 at the end of June, was on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles last month when he was reported to have suffered nausea and dizziness. His representatives said in a statement at the time that the incident had been “due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before landing.”

The medical episode raised concern for Tyson and led to speculation that the fight would be called off. Last week, Most Valuable Promotions announced that the fight would be postponed following Tyson’s follow-up consultation with medical professionals.

“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 in a statement. “While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight. Jake Paul is getting knocked out.”

Paul-Tyson will be streamed live on Netflix and sanctioned as a professional bout with the results affecting their pro records. The fight will be contested at heavyweight and is scheduled for eight two-minute rounds.

Previously purchased tickets will be honored for November 15. Those unable to attend the rescheduled date are eligible for a refund at their original point of purchase until July 8.
