Previously, the fight was postponed due to complications with the health of Iron Mike
The fight of the former absolute world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KO) and famous YouTube blogger and boxer Jake Paul (9-1, 6 KO) will pass 15th of November.
As previously planned, the event will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, USA. The undercard of the fight will feature a rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.
Let us remind you that the show was originally planned to take place on July 20. However, the fight was postponed due to health complications with Iron Mike, whose ulcer worsened.
Let us remind you that Mike felt unwell during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. The reason for this was nausea and dizziness due to an exacerbation of the ulcer 30 minutes before landing.
It was assumed that the fight between Tyson and Paul would be held as an exhibition fight, but it would take place according to standard boxing rules. Subsequently, the fight officially received professional status.
On June 30, Iron Mike turned 58 years old. In November 2020, Tyson had an exhibition fight with former world champion in five weight categories, Roy Jones. The match ended in a draw. On the undercard of the event, Jake Paul knocked out Nate Robinson.
Tyson had his last professional fight in 2005. Mike lost by TKO in the sixth round to Irishman Kevin McBride.
