The highly 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. Originally scheduled for July 20, the fight was postponed due to Tyson experiencing an ulcer flare-up, which led both fighters to agree on the new date.
At the age of 58, Tyson will be stepping back into the ring for his first match since 2005. Throughout his career, he has an impressive record of 50 wins, 6 losses, and 2 no contests. On the other hand, 27-year-old Jake Paul arrives with a career record of 10 wins and 1 loss, with his only defeat coming from a close split-decision against Tommy Fury earlier this year.
The fight is expected to start at 6 p.m. MT / 7 p.m. CT and will be available for streaming on Netflix. Fans will need a subscription to view the event, which is part of a broader series featuring other notable bouts, including Katie Taylor versus Amanda Serrano and Mario Barrios versus Abel Ramos.
The rules for this match have been slightly altered. The fighters will compete in eight two-minute rounds and will be using 14-ounce gloves instead of the customary 12-ounce gloves.
BetMGM has already set the odds for the fight, sparking conversations and predictions from boxing enthusiasts about the outcome between the seasoned Tyson and the promising Paul.
