The heavily anticipated fight between boxing legend Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned professional boxer Jake Paul is back on after Tyson’s medical scare on a recent flight caused the bout to be postponed. 

Most Valuable Promotions announced on Friday that the fight, which was originally set to take place on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, has now been rescheduled for November 15th to give both boxers enough time to prepare.

"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.
