The highly anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is scheduled for Friday, November 15, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Originally set for July 20, the fight was postponed due to Tyson suffering from an ulcer flare-up, which affected his training schedule. At 58 years old, Tyson will be stepping back into the ring for the first time since 2005, boasting a career record of 50 wins, 6 losses, and 2 draws.
Jake Paul, on the other hand, comes into the match with a professional record of 10 wins and 1 loss, his sole defeat occurring in a closely contested split decision against Tommy Fury in 2023.
The event will kick off at 6 p.m. MT / 7 p.m. CT and will be available for streaming on Netflix. Fans interested in watching the match will need a Netflix subscription, with plans starting at $6.99 per month.
The fight card includes other exciting matchups, such as Katie Taylor facing Amando Serrano for the Super Lightweight title, and notable bouts featuring Neeraj Goyat against Whindersson Nunes and Mario “El Azteca” Barrios against Abel Ramos.
Notably, Tyson and Paul have settled on modified rules for their match. The fight will consist of eight two-minute rounds, rather than the typical three-minute rounds, and the pair will wear 14-ounce gloves, which are heavier than the standard 12-ounce used in professional bouts.
In this match, Tyson’s experience and historical prowess in the ring will confront Paul’s more modern boxing style. With the age difference of 31 years, fans are curious to see how the dynamics will play out and whether Tyson’s legacy will shine once more against the rising star of Jake Paul.
As the fight approaches, a significant buzz surrounds the event, with many eager to witness this clash of generations in boxing, marking a potentially thrilling chapter in both fighters’ careers.
