Story

Mike Tyson was supposed to fight Jake Paul on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, but it got delayed because Tyson got sick on a flight. The fight is now set for November 15. Tyson is a famous boxer known for his powerful punches. He had 44 knockouts in his career. Jake Paul, a social media star, has been boxing professionally since 2020 and has won most of his fights. He is much younger than Tyson. Tyson, who is 57 years old, had a health issue on a flight in May, which led to the fight being postponed. The new date was chosen to give both fighters enough time to prepare. The fight will still be at AT&T Stadium and will be shown on Netflix. Tyson is not worried about the age difference between him and Paul. The fight was originally planned for a Saturday but will now happen on a Friday. Tyson hasn't fought professionally since 2005 but has been training regularly. He had an exhibition match in 2020. The fight with Paul will be an official professional bout. There were concerns that the fight might be canceled after Tyson's health scare, but it is still scheduled to take place. Some people, like UFC CEO Dana White, think the fight is not a good idea because of the age gap between the fighters. Despite the criticism, the fight is expected to go on as planned.
