The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight has been postponed to November 15, 2024. The fight will be streamed live on Netflix from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The bout was originally scheduled for July 20. On May 31, Tyson withdrew from the bout due to a recurrence of an ulcer, forcing the former heavyweight champion to stop training.
Despite the injury, both Paul and Tyson believed the bout would take place in 2024. The bout is currently scheduled for November.
“We had to postpone the fight, but I will be resuming training shortly. I'd like to thank the medical staff who cared for me, MVP, Netflix and AT&T Stadium for working so hard to find a rescheduled date that was best for everyone involved,” Mike Tyson told Netflix. “Although a new date has been set, no matter when we fight the outcome will be the same: Jake Paul will be knocked out.”
