Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are gearing up for one of 2024’s most anticipated boxing showdowns, as the legendary heavyweight champion and the YouTube star-turned-fighter prepare to face off in a Netflix-hosted spectacle on Nov. 15.
Set to headline a thrilling fight card co-promoted by Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions, the bout will take place at AT&T Stadium, the iconic home of the Dallas Cowboys, with a massive crowd expected.
Originally slated for July 15, the fight was postponed to November after Tyson experienced an ulcer flare-up in May, requiring him to temporarily halt training.
Back in action since July, Tyson has declared himself fit and ready, adding fuel to the excitement.
