Jake Paul-Mike Tyson Fans of boxing, clear your calendars. Jake Paul will face “Iron” Mike Tyson in an official bout, putting one of the most contentious content creators in the ring alongside one of the greatest boxers of all time in the boxing ring.
When it was announced that Paul would take on “Iron Mike,” many were taken aback. The battle was initially set for July 20th, but Tyson abruptly postponed it because of an ulcer flare-up.
While former heavyweight champion Tyson will make his boxing comeback after a four-year hiatus, Paul has already fought twice this year, defeating Ryan Boulard and Mike Perry. When the talking is over, many foresee a tight fight because both are looking good going into it.

The battle will be streamed live by Netflix, marking a historic moment as the service makes its first foray into live sports, potentially setting a new benchmark for sports streaming in the digital era.
Jake Paul-Mike Tyson will square off on Friday, November 15, at the storied AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which is home to the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL. In an unusual move for the platform, Netflix will stream the fight live, ensuring that a large worldwide audience can see the event.
The fight was originally scheduled for the summer, but it had to be rescheduled from July 20 due to Tyson’s ulcer flare-up in May. In the Netflix documentary “Countdown: Jake Paul-Mike Tyson,” which followed the build-up for both combatants, “Iron Mike” recently described the severity of that medical condition, claiming that he “threw up blood” and dropped 26 pounds before fully recovering.
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson rules
The fight will be officially sanctioned as a professional fight at the time of writing, but Tyson’s health may cause it to be demoted to an exhibition fight. Even though Paul suggested making each round three minutes, it will be fought over eight two-minute rounds.
Knockouts are allowed, and both combatants will use 14-ounce gloves. Neither will wear headgear. As it’s a professional bout, this will be added to the pair’s official records.
