The highly anticipated heavyweight fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson and the most anticipated rematch in women’s boxing history, Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano, is rescheduled for Friday, November 15, 2024 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
"Our team has worked diligently with all parties involved to reschedule this monumental fight to a date that ensures both Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are fully prepared, with equal training time, as well as allowing us to keep the event at AT&T stadium in the midst of the Cowboys season,” said Nakisa Bidarian, Co-Founder of Most Valuable Promotions. “We appreciate the outstanding dedication, collaboration, and flexibility of our partners at Netflix and AT&T Stadium. Paul vs. Tyson is the most cross generational sporting event in history, and we are committed to providing fans worldwide with this unforgettable night of boxing, live globally on Netflix. We look forward to seeing everyone on Friday, November 15 for a showdown that will be talked about for generations to come."
The fight was originally set for 20th July, but following an ulcer flare up, Tyson was advised to stick to light training for the time being, meaning the highly anticipated bout will be put on hold until later on in the year.
"Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly,” he says. “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,” said Mike Tyson. “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.”
Having previously promised to “finish him”, Tyson insists the delays are not a set-back in his mission to end the boxing career of Jake Paul.
Despite his quest to remain the best, Tyson told Loaded: “Success for me is being responsible and being present. That's success for me. This time, life was tougher than me and I learned gratitude.
“My mentor and trainer, the great Cus D'Amato taught me many lessons that I still use in my daily life today. Nobody is born the best. You have to practise and train to become the best. Since nature gave us fear in order to help us survive, we cannot look upon it as an enemy. Fear is a friend of exceptional people. Fear is like a fire. If you control it, as we do when we heat our houses, it is a friend. When you don’t, it consumes you and everything you do and everything around you. Lastly, stop competing against others. You want to get the best out of yourself, not competing with anyone else but you and that’s how we improve as a person, improving ourselves to an emotional level.”
A spokesman for Mike Tyson said: “Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Previously purchased tickets will be honoured for Friday, November 15. No action is needed to keep current tickets and current seat locations. Tickets are still available HERE.
