The highly anticipated match between YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul and former undisputed heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson has been rescheduled to air on Netflix on Friday, November 15, 2024. Originally, the bout was scheduled for this month, on July 20th, but was postponed due to a medical emergency experienced by Tyson on May 26th during a flight.
On April 29, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations confirmed it approved requests, and the bout will be a sanctioned, professional fight. The match-up will consist of eight 2-minute rounds, instead of the usual 3-minutes. Fighters will wear 14 ounce gloves.
The bout is happening at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and is airing exclusively on Netflix. Time is to be determined. The event is presented by Most Valuable Promotions.
On April 16, Netflix confirmed that the co-feature bout is the long awaited rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano for the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring lightweight titles.
