(CNN Español) — The months-long wait is over: the fight between YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and former world champion Mike Tyson will take place this week and can be seen around the world on Netflix.
The fight, organized by Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) and Netflix, was originally planned to take place in July of this year, but was postponed to November due to Tyson suffering an ulcer outbreak during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on July 26. May.
With both boxers ready and in tune, the fight will take place this Friday, November 15.
Billboard
The fight between Tyson and Paul will take place on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas—the stadium where the Dallas Cowboys play—according to information from Netflix.
Their fight will be the main fight of the night, but before that you will be able to see other fights.
This is the complete billboard:
- Jake Paul (27 years old) vs. Mike Tyson (58 years old) – Heavyweight fight
- The revenge Katie Taylor (38) vs. Amanda Serrano (36) – Undisputed Super Lightweight Fighter
- Mario Barrios (29) vs. Abel Ramos (33) – WBC welterweight bout
- Neeraj Goyat (32) vs. Whindersson Nunes (29) – Super middleweight fight
An important detail: Although Tyson is a retired boxer, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) — which regulates combat sports in the state — considers the matchup against Paul a professional fight.
The only exceptions for said professional fight are the following: it will last eight rounds, two minutes each (instead of the usual three minutes), and both boxers will wear 397 gram gloves.
