The highly anticipated bout between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has been rescheduled from July 20 to November 15. The former heavyweight champion, Tyson, requested the change due to medical issues, needing more time to prepare adequately. This development adds to the intrigue surrounding the fight, which will be streamed exclusively on Netflix.


Jake Paul is making the most of this extra time by observing other top fighters, such as Gervonta Davis. Davis recently defeated Frank Martin by knockout in the eighth round, dominating the lightweight fight sanctioned by the WBA. Paul was utterly stunned by the knockout, his jaw dropping in astonishment. Davis, who hadn’t fought in over a year, looked spectacular and sparked speculation about a potential rematch with Ryan Garcia after their post-fight interaction.

Paul dreams of landing a similar punch on Tyson on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas. He hopes to recreate the astonished expression he had during Davis’s knockout. Observers speculated that Paul might have lost a significant bet on the fight’s outcome, noting his “I lost my bet” face. This theory was further supported by a friend who said, “I won on the round, I said he’d go down in the eighth.”

As for the fight against Tyson, who will turn 58 on June 30, there is a 31-year age gap when he steps into the ring with Paul, marking the largest age difference in professional boxing history. Additionally, it will have been over 19 years since Tyson last fought professionally. Despite these factors, Tyson’s legendary status and enduring appeal make this fight highly unpredictable and eagerly anticipated by fans worldwide.

With the added time for preparation, both fighters are expected to bring their best to the ring. Tyson, aiming to prove that age is just a number, will face a younger, determined Jake Paul, who is looking to solidify his place in the boxing world by taking on a true legend. The rescheduled bout promises to be an exciting and memorable event, as fans eagerly await to see if Tyson can deliver a thrilling match and if Paul can pull off a shocking victory.
