The much-anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is set to take place on Friday, November 15, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Initially scheduled for July 20, the fight was postponed due to an ulcer flare-up that affected Tyson’s training preparations. The two sides reached a mutual agreement to reschedule the event.
At 58 years old, this bout will be Tyson’s first since 2005. Throughout his career, he has accumulated a professional record of 50 wins, 6 losses, and 2 no contests. On the other hand, Jake Paul, who is 27, enters the ring with a record of 10 wins and 1 loss, the latter being a narrow defeat by split decision against Tommy Fury in 2023.
The fight will commence at 7 p.m. Central Time, following an event that begins at 6 p.m. MT. Fans can tune in via Netflix, requiring a subscription with plans starting at $6.99 a month.
The undercard for the Tyson vs. Paul event includes exciting matchups, such as Katie Taylor opposing Amando Serrano in a super lightweight title bout, as well as other matchups featuring Neeraj Goyat vs. Whindersson Nunes in middleweight and Mario “El Azteca” Barrios vs. Abel Ramos in welterweight.
Notably, there will be some adjustments to standard boxing rules. The fight will consist of eight two-minute rounds, deviating from the traditional three-minute rounds, and 14-ounce gloves will be utilized, which is heavier than the standard 12-ounce gloves typically used in professional bouts.
