While the Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry bout is on Saturday, the former YouTuber has another big bout coming up: the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson exhibition bout has been rescheduled for Friday, November 15, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Netflix has exclusive streaming rights to Paul vs. Tyson, which is sure to draw a huge global audience. The bout between Paul and the former heavyweight champion was forced to be rescheduled from its planned July date after Tyson suffered a health emergency in May.
A recurrence of a stomach ulcer has forced Tyson to scale back his training to allow time for recovery, but neither man wanted to cancel the bout, and despite a four-month delay, the Paul vs. Tyson fight is still scheduled to take place at the home of the Dallas Cowboys.
Meanwhile, Paul still wanted to fight in July, so the 27-year-old's camp quickly organised a matchup with MMA regular Mike Perry.
