Netflix‘s fight between former unified heavyweight champ Mike Tyson and social media personality Jake Paul has been moved to November 15. The fight will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Mike Tyson is recovering after becoming ill with an ulcer flare-up on a cross-county flight. The incident occurred just weeks before the heavyweight legend’s scheduled boxing match against Jake Paul, which will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Tyson reportedly was on an American Airlines flight from Miami to Los Angeles when he began to feel ill.
“He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up 30 minutes before landing, a rep for Tyron said in a statement to media outlets. “He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him” and is now feeling “great”, the rep added.
Flight attendants reached out to passengers to see if a doctor was on board when Tyson revealed he was in intense pain. Paramedics reportedly boarded the plane when it landed to assist Tyson.

Mike Tyson is one of the greatest heavyweight champions in the history of professional boxing. Nicknamed Kid Dynamite, Tyson was a prolific boxer during his prime, and he holds the record for being the youngest heavyweight champion at just 20 years of age.
The former professional enjoyed the fruits of a decorated career before he hung up his gloves in 2005. Since his retirement, several other boxers have risen to fame and used their popularity to further the popularity of the sport, including Jake Paul.
The YouTuber found his calling in the boxing ring, and the two are set to face off against each other very soon. In the meantime, a rather interesting video has been doing the rounds on social media, one where Mike Tyson takes on Paul in a simulation, and the result is hilarious.

Netflix’s move into live sports continues. The streamer is weighing in to the boxing arena with a fight between heavyweight legend Mike Tyson and upstart Jake Paul.
The streamer will air the fight, which takes place at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday July 20.
It is the company’s latest foray into the live sports field, which launched with golf tournament The Netflix Cup and continued with tennis tournament The Netflix Slam, featuring a match between Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz, earlier this month.
There have been reports over the last six months that Netflix was eyeing boxing as one of its next routes into sports. Boxing has previously tended to be pay-per-view but there will be no additional cost for the fight on Netflix.
Paul started his boxing career in 2018 with a fight against Deji Olatunji and his professional debut was in 2020 against AnEsonGib.
