Boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul rescheduled

By

The original bout between the former world heavyweight champion and YouTuber-turned-boxer had been set to take place on July 20.

Tyson reportedly became unwell while aboard a flight from Miami to Los Angeles during May and needed medical assistance.

Organisers of the event at the 80,000-capacity stadium, which is home to the Dallas Cowboys, have now confirmed the new date, with previously purchased tickets to be honoured or a refund offered until July 8.

Most Valuable Promotions, who are staging the event alongside Netflix, said in a statement: “The highly anticipated heavyweight fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson and the most anticipated rematch in women’s boxing history, Katie Taylor v Amanda Serrano, is rescheduled for Friday November 15 2024 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.”

MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian added: “Our team has worked diligently with all parties involved to reschedule this monumental fight to a date that ensures both Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are fully prepared, with equal training time, as well as allowing us to keep the event at AT&T stadium in the midst of the Cowboys season.

“Paul v Tyson is the most cross-generational sporting event in history, and we are committed to providing fans worldwide with this unforgettable night of boxing, live globally on Netflix.

“We look forward to seeing everyone on Friday November 15 for a showdown that will be talked about for generations to come.”

Paul is 30 years Tyson’s junior and has won nine out of 10 fights, which have mostly been against ex-UFC fighters, with his only loss against Love Island star Tommy Fury.

Tyson – whose professional career ended in 2005 and has not competed since an exhibition match four years ago – is confident he will return to the ring in good shape. While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight – Jake Paul is getting knocked out

“Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly,” said the former world heavyweight champion, who will have turned 58 by the time he faces Paul.  I am thankful to the medical staff that treated me and to MVP, Netflix and AT&T Stadium for working diligently to find the best reschedule date for all parties.

“While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight – Jake Paul is getting  by the knocked out.”

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul: I saw you with your shirt off and you’re fat and flabby, you can’t hurt me

The pair exchanged harsh words

Jake Paul promised that he will be the last boxer to put the legendary Mike Tyson to sleep, referring to the fight that will take place next July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington (Texas, USA).

“I promise people that next July 20 I will put Mike to sleep. He will feel all my power and at the end I will be the man who put Tyson to sleep for the last time. I’m going to teach you how to box,” Paul warned at a press conference where both fighters warmed up for the fight.

It was the second media appearance this week by the boxers to promote the fight, which is scheduled for eight rounds of two minutes each.

Jake Paul’s boxing career

In his short boxing career Paul, 27, has nine wins, six via knockout, and one loss; a record that is overshadowed by that of heavyweight legend Mike Tyson, who at 57 boasts 50 wins, 44 via knockout, and only six losses.

 

Mike Tyson to Jake Paul: You can’t hurt me

‘Iron’ Mike, who on social media constantly shows the great physical shape he retains, responded to the YouTuber’s bravado with forcefulness.

“Just light the fire and you’ll see, I’m going to finish you off, Paul. You say you’re at your best; you should be thin, but I see you’re fat, I saw you with your shirt off; you’re fat and flabby. You can’t hurt me,” stressed Tyson, who will turn 58 next June 30.

In an attempt to provoke Tyson, Paul reminded him of his 1990 loss to Buster Douglas, the first in the then heavyweight champion’s career.

“Buster was fat and I’m better. I’m going to finish you faster than him and you’ll remember it forever. You started me Mike, I love you for it, I love you like a son to a father, but I’ve got to put you in discipline. You’re going down old man,” concluded Jake Paul.

In the face to face, Paul stood guard against Tyson, who barely paid him any attention and did not even hold his gaze, while the YouTuber did not take his eyes off him.
