The fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is on, and the new date is set.

The two are now slated to enter the ring Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys and the fight will be livestreamed on Netflix, as originally scheduled.

Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), co-founded by Paul, made the announcement on Friday.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which oversees combat sports, confirmed the new date had been requested and approved.

What is the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight date?

Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP, said the fight was rescheduled to a date “that ensures both Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are fully prepared, with equal training time, as well as allowing to us to keep the event at AT&T stadium in the midst of the Cowboys season.”

Nov. 15 falls on a Friday and the Cowboys will host the Houston Texas that following Monday. July 20, the original date for the fight, fell on a Saturday.

The news of the new date ended speculation about the fate of the postponed fight, with Texas officials having said Thursday the fight promoter had not yet requested a new date.

“Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly,” Tyson said. “…While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight. Jake is getting knocked out.”

All eyes will be on AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on July 20 when Mike Tyson takes on Jake Paul in their hugely controversial boxing match.

Former undisputed heavyweight champion Tyson, 57, will return to the ring to face Paul, 27, in what will be the main event of a card that will air on Netflix.

Tyson has not fought since drawing with Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition match in 2020, while his last professional bout came back in 2005 against Kevin McBride.

Concerns have been raised over the safety of the fight, given the huge age difference between the two men involved.

However, Tyson has insisted he is fit enough to face YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, in what is expected to be an exhibition fight rather than a fully professional bout.

Earlier this week, Paul announced the first undercard fight for the event, with Amanda Serrano taking on Katie Taylor in a rematch of their 2022 fight – which ended in a split decision win for the Irish fighter.

The rematch will be contested for the undisputed super lightweight championship, with Taylor putting all of her belts on the line.

The upcoming showdown between the two elite female boxers will be fought over 10 two-minute rounds.

And it has now been claimed that Taylor will be paid a record-breaking fee for the fight.

The Irish Telegraph report that she could pocket an estimated purse of $6m (£4.8m).

It is claimed it will be the richest-ever fight in women’s professional boxing.

“This is the rematch the world has wanted to see and I’m delighted that it’s finally happening,” Taylor said after the fight was announced.

“The first fight in New York was obviously an epic occasion and it more than lived up to the billing, and I’m sure the rematch will be no different.”

Tyson recently admitted his fight against Paul this summer will likely be an exhibition but both fighters are pushing for it go ahead as a professional bout

Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul could look very different to what fans are expecting if the fight is professionally sanctioned.

Boxing legend ‘Iron Mike’ is back in the ring on July 20 when he fights social media sensation Paul at the 80,000 seat AT&T Stadium in Texas. Many of the fight details are unclear despite Tyson recently admitting the fight will likely be sanctioned as an exhibition, as it’s understood both he and Paul want it to go on their professional records.

Tyson’s last professional fight took place almost two decades ago as he quit on his stool against journeyman Kevin McBridge, whilst all of Paul’s last 10 fights have been professional bouts. If their fight is professionally sanctioned, both men could be wearing 10-ounce gloves instead of the rumoured 16-ounce gloves they would wear in an exhibition bout.

The fight could be six, eight or even 10 rounds and three judges would be ringside to score it, unlike an exhibition which would not be scored and no winner would be declared. KO’s would also be possible in a professional fight, an outcome that is unlikely in exhibitions as both fighters usually don’t put their foot on the gas as much.

Tyson hinted some of the fight rules could be similar to a professional bout when he told Fox News : “This is called an exhibition, but if you look up exhibition, you won’t see any of the laws we’re fighting under. This is a fight.” The 57-year-old admitted to being out of shape for his last fight, an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr, but insists he is taking his bout against Paul seriously.

“I don’t think he’s faster than me. I’ve seen a YouTube video of him at 16 doing weird dancing. That’s not the guy I’m fighting. This is a guy who’s going to try and hurt me, which I’m accustomed to, and he’s going to be greatly mistaken. As the fight gets closer, the less nervous I become because it’s reality, and in reality I’m invincible,” he added.

Paul thinks the fight will be the toughest of his career so far despite being over 30 years younger than Tyson, who is decades past his prime. “I believe I have what it takes to beat him. I know this is the toughest test of my life, and it’s an honour to be in there with Mike. But, at the end of the day, I’m gonna be the one who gets my hand raised,” he said.

A matter of ongoing speculation, the rules for the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight scheduled for July 20 remain undetermined, the promoter told USA TODAY Sports.

Bryce Holden, principal of Holden Boxing LLC, said he’s in talks with officials who regulate combat sports in Texas. The bout is set to be held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys.

“It’s just been conversations to understand what could be possible, what is impossible and then us speaking to the camps (of Tyson and Paul),’’ said Holden, who added that he is “hoping to get to a resolution here soon.’’

What remains undecided is whether the fight will be a sanctioned pro bout or exhibition along with the number of scheduled rounds, whether the rounds will be two minutes or three minutes long and the weight of the gloves.

“We’re aware that a lot of people have grown interested in the distinction and what’s going to happen and take place,’’ Holden said. “But for now it’s just, I’m close to the guys at the (Texas) commission, we have a good working relationship, so we’re talking a lot about the event as a whole.’’

Who will make decision on fight rules?

The Texas Department of Licensing Regulations (TDLR) initially told USA TODAY Sports an exhibition in Texas calls for two-minute rounds and 16-ounce gloves instead of the 10-ounce gloves Tyson used to deliver devastating knockouts during his pro career.

But subsequently, the TDLR said, “Rules are not fixed and each bout is subject to review.’’

The TDLR has declined comment on whether the proposed fight between Tyson and Paul would be a pro fight, exhibition fight or what rules would be used. Tela Mange, Communications Manager for TDLR, said a determination cannot be made until a promoter submits the fight cards.

Holden confirmed with USA TODAY Sports he has not submitted fight cards that would include details he is negotiating with TDLR officials.

Mange said by email, “TDLR carefully reviews fighters for each bout, examining their backgrounds (record, age, win/loss streak, amount of time spent out of the ring between bouts, etc.) to determine whether a contest should be a professional bout, an exhibition, or whether a contest should happen at all, based on whether an opponent is outclassed because of experience or other factors.’’

Interest in Jake Paul’s mega-fight with Mike Tyson is soaring, with almost 90,000 fans signing up for pre-sale.

The influencer boxer, 27, will go up against the former ‘Baddest Man of the Planet’, 57, at the AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, on July 20. In a break from the norm, the bout will be streamed on Netflix as part of a usual subscription package, not via a PPV, which can set fight fans back up to £25 for one show.

The fight being more accessible financially hasn’t seemingly dimmed the interest of fans wanting to attend the event live. AT&T Stadium, which has hosted prestigious events like the Super Bowl and Wrestlemania, can be configured to hold 100,000 fans.

Tickets for the bout are not yet on sale, but pre-sale sign-up is available and Paul has announced on Instagram that 89,000 fans have already put their name down. That is despite the fact a number of key details for the fight are still to be confirmed.

Paul has angrily dismissed suggestions the pair will wear headguards. He blasted: “It’s f***ing absurd. First of all, obviously, none of that’s true. They’re so f***ing stupid. Anybody who believes that s*** should not be allowed to vote.”

However, speculation over the rules for the fight has raged on social media. At present, it appears the fight will be an exhibition affair with two-minute rounds instead three-minute rounds, 16oz gloves rather than 10oz, no judges and no winner, unless there is a knockout.

Both fighters must also pass brain and hearts tests for the bout to be sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR). Those rules would disappoint many fight fans, but Paul insists the showdown could be a game-changer for the sport.

“The fact it’s on Netflix will really revolutionise the game in boxing,” he said on his BS w/Jake Paul podcast. “Streaming could be a very bright future for the sport. It’s a whole entertainment spectacle – Cowboys stadium…”

Asked if it could mark the beginning of the end of PPV boxing shows, Paul, initially alluding to himself, added: “I’ll probably still do pay-to-view, but I don’t know, we’ll see. Maybe this is what the fans are going to show out for.”

YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul is sharing the ring with ‘Iron Mike’ this summer but it’s still unclear whether the fight will be professionally sanctioned or go ahead as an exhibition

Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul won’t be sanctioned as an exhibition fight, according to boxing legend Roy Jones Jr.

‘Iron Mike’ is back in the ring on July 20 for a one-off fight against social media sensation Paul, which takes place at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Texas. An official ruleset for the fight hasn’t been announced but Jones, who was the last man to share the ring with Tyson, claims it won’t be a glorified sparring session as many fans have theorised.

“The Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight is not an exhibition, I’ve heard it’s been upgraded to a fight,” Jones said when speaking with The Lunch Club. “If it’s a fight, it’s very intriguing how it may turn out because Jake Paul has gotten a lot better as a boxer over the days but Mike Tyson even at 58 or however old he is, is still Mike Tyson.”

The top ten biggest pay-per-view boxing events have been revealed as Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul is set to break viewing records.

Tyson vs. Paul is not on PPV as the heavyweight bout will be aired on Netflix, who have over 200 million subscribers.

But had the boxing legend’s clash against ‘The Problem Child’ been on PPV, then it would’ve generated huge buys considering the profile of both fighters.

‘Iron’ Mike is no stranger to pulling in massive PPV numbers, having been involved in some big fights during his iconic professional career.

He had two monster fights against Evander Holyfield, which garnered a combined 3,590,000 PPV buys.

However, when it comes to the PPV king, then look no further than Floyd Mayweather, who dominates the top ten.

His super-fight against Manny Pacquiao back in May 2015 generated a whopping 4,600,000 PPV buys.

And his money-spinning showdown against UFC superstar Conor McGregor brought in 4,300,000 PPV buys.

His fights against Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez generated 2,400,000 and 2,200,000 PPV buys respectively.
