Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul

The anticipated boxing match between the legendary Mike Tyson and YouTuberturned- boxer Jake Paul has been rescheduled for Friday, Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium (Netflix, 8 p.m. ET).

Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs), of Brooklyn, New York, is the youngest heavyweight to win a world title. At 20 years old, he defeated Trevor Berbick in 1986 by secondround TKO to win the WBC belt in Las Vegas. “The Baddest Man on the Planet” added the WBA belt in March 1987 and the IBF five months later to become undisputed champion. He made six defenses of the three belts until losing in a historic upset to James “Buster” Douglas by 10th-round KO in February 1990.

Paul (9-1, 6 KOs), of Cleveland, Ohio, but now living and training in Puerto Rico, started boxing professionally in 2020. He had six straight victories, four by stoppage, mostly against former MMA fighters. Paul, 26, lost a split decision to Tommy Fury in February 2023, but has won three straight fights since, including a first-round KO of Ryan Bourland in March.

The fight will be contested over eight two-minute rounds, with 14-ounce gloves and sanctioned as a professional bout by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations.

The Tyson-Paul main card will be streamed on Netflix starting at 8 p.m. ET. The card includes a bout between two of the best women in boxing, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, in a 10-rounder for the undisputed junior welterweight championship; and the return of former middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., against former UFC fighter Darren Till, who’s making his boxing debut, in a six-round light heavyweight fight.
