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 20 was caused by Tyson having a medical episode on a plane and needing time to recover from a stomach ulcer.
The rescheduled bout is set for Friday at the US$1.2 billion (HK$9.3 billion) retractable roof home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas. The state has sanctioned it as a pro fight with some modifications.
Here’s everything you need to know.
When is the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight?

The heavyweight fight is on the evening of Friday, November 15 in the United States. It’s difficult to predict exactly when the main event will start but it could be around midnight ET, which is 1pm on Saturday, November 16 in Hong Kong.
The event starts at 9am on Saturday in Hong Kong (8pm, Friday ET).
Where can I watch Tyson-Paul?
Unlike traditional, sought-after boxing events, this will be available on Netflix rather than pay-per-view.
Is the Tyson-Paul fight free on Netflix?
For Netflix subscribers, there are no additional charges to watch the fight, though a subscription is required.
Netflix reported more than 280 million subscribers worldwide at the end of the third quarter in 2024.
What are the odds on the Tyson-Paul fight?
UK odds have Paul at 10/17 favourite, with his youth giving him the edge, while Tyson is 23/10 to claim the victory.
Similarly, for those in the US, Paul is -210, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. That means the payout for a Paul victory would be slightly less than half the amount of any bet, with Tyson +240.
What is the age difference between Tyson and Paul?
Mike Tyson is 58, 31 years older than Jake Paul, who is 27.
When was Tyson’s last sanctioned fight?

The American retired in 2005 with a record of 50-6, with 44 knockouts, after losing to Kevin McBride. He fought Roy Jones Jnr in an exhibition five years ago.
Tyson first became world champion in 1986 at the age of 20 with victory over Trevor Berbick.
Who is Jake Paul?
The younger brother of YouTuber Logan Paul, Jake Paul is among the highest paid YouTubers in the world, according to Forbes. His boxing career began in August 2018 and his record is 10-1 with seven knockouts against mostly undistinguished opponents.
His loss was to Tommy Fury, the less-accomplished half-brother of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
How many rounds are scheduled for the Tyson-Paul fight?
The fight is scheduled for eight two-minute rounds, as opposed to the normal three minutes and 10 or 12 rounds for most pro fights. Tyson and Paul also will use heavier gloves with the idea of decreasing the power of punches.
The gloves will be 14 ounces (400 grams) instead of 10. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has said Tyson’s physical condition met the criteria for the fight to proceed.
Who is on the Tyson-Paul undercard?
Katie Taylor v Amanda Serrano – for Taylor’s IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO women’s super-lightweight titles
Mario Barrios v Abel Ramos – for Barrios’s WBC welterweight title
Neeraj Goyat v Whindersson Nunes – super-middleweight
Shadasia Green v Melinda Watpool – for vacant women’s WBO super-middleweight title
Lucas Bahdi v Armando Casamonica – super-lightweight
Bruce Carrington vs Dana Coolwell – featherweight
