After an initial postponement, the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has a new date.
Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions announced Friday that the fight has been rescheduled for Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The sides managed to keep the fight in Arlington despite the new date coming directly between two Cowboys home games on Nov. 10 and Nov. 18.
“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 said in a statement. “While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight. Jake Paul is getting knocked out. On Friday, November 15, watch this in-person at AT&T Stadium or live on Netflix.”
The fight had originally been scheduled for July 20, but was postponed after Tyson had some health issues. Per his statement, he should be able to resume training in the near future and be ready for a November fight barring any setbacks.
Tickets that were previously purchased for the July date will still be honored, according to MVP. Those unable to attend the new date are eligible for a refund until July 8.
