Jake Paul-Mike Tyson boxing match rescheduled for Nov. 15 – ESPN

”Our team has spent endless meetings with all concerned stakeholders to ensure this big fight is moved to a date best suited for Jake Paul and Mike Tyson to train to the maximum rather than have an uneven training bid and also ensure this fight can maintain the AT&T stadium rather than during the Cowboys season,” Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian said. ”It is with a lot of gratitude and thanks to Netflix and AT&T Stadium for their unwavering commitment and support. Paul vs Tyson is the biggest generational fight in sports history, and we are excited to deliver this historic night of boxing live to fans globally on Netflix. And can’t wait for November 15th for the battle of the ages that will be the talk of generations.

In choosing a new date for Paul-Tyson, it is so unusual to have it Fridays rather than Saturdays, which are traditionally set aside for a majority of boxing matches. However, with the Dallas Cowboys meeting the Houston Texan on Monday night at November 18, a Friday scuffle in that particular stadium will afford the stadium ample time to prepare and shop for the Cowboys game.

The initial date of July was recommended because it was away from the NFL season and there was no other event that big happening at the time as the NBA Finals had ended and college football was a month away.

However, Tyson needed medical assistance after experiencing an ulcer flare-up on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on May 26. Following a medical checkup, Tyson was told by the doctors to reduce his training for the following several weeks until his condition recovered, which prompted him to reschedule the fight.When Tyson and Paul enter the ring, their age difference will be the greatest in professional boxing history at 31 years old. Additionally, it will have been more than 19 years since Tyson engaged in a professional fight. For the first time since stopping journeyman Ryan Bourland in the opening round in March, Paul, 27, will square off.
