The Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry fight is Saturday, but the former YouTuber has another big match coming up. The exhibition between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has been rescheduled for Friday, Nov. 15, and will still take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Netflix has exclusive streaming rights for Paul vs. Tyson, which should make for a big worldwide audience. The bout between Paul and the former-heavyweight champion had to be rescheduled from a planned July date after Tyson experienced a medical emergency in May.
A flare-up of a stomach ulcer forced Tyson to scale back his training in order to recover. However, neither party wanted to back out, and despite a four-month delay, Paul vs. Tyson is still set to take place at the home of the Dallas Cowboys.
For his part, Paul still wanted a fight in July, so the 27-year-old's camp quickly organized a clash with MMA regular Mike Perry.
