Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson: Everything you need to know about the upcoming fight
YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul had to wait an extra four months for his high-profile match with 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.
The delay from the original plan for July was caused by Tyson having a medical episode on a plane and needing time to recover from a stomach ulcer, Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions, which are organizing the fight, announced over the summer.
“Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly. I am thankful to the medical staff that treated me and to MVP, Netflix, and AT&T Stadium for working diligently to find the best reschedule date for all parties,” Tyson previously said in a statement. “While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight.

The rescheduled bout is set for Friday night at the $1.2 billion retractable roof home of the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington.
