The highly anticipated boxing match between YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was initially scheduled for July but had to be postponed due to Tyson’s medical emergency.
The 58-year-old Tyson experienced a stomach ulcer and required time to recover, leading to a four-month delay.
The rescheduled bout is now set to take place on Friday night at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. The state of Texas has sanctioned the event as a professional fight with some modifications to the rules.
Tyson, who last fought in 2005, has expressed confidence in his ability to emerge victorious, while the 27-year-old Paul has taunted his opponent with a “diamond-spiked ear cover,” referencing Tyson’s infamous ear-biting incident from the past.
The fight will feature an eight-round format with two-minute rounds and heavier gloves, as per the modified rules agreed upon by Texas. Several other states had declined to sanction the bout due to the age difference between the two fighters.
Ahead of the fight, Tyson revealed that he had lost 26 pounds during his recovery process, but his co-promoter, Nakisa Bidarian, confirmed that the former champion had been medically cleared and was undergoing regular checkups.
The event will be streamed on Netflixmarking the platform’s first foray into combat sports. Additionally, the card will feature a rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano for the undisputed super welterweight title.
