Is Mike Tyson still fighting Jake Paul? What to know to watch Netflix bout
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are closing in on a fight that has taken over the boxing world, with the former heavyweight champion and the YouTuber-turned-fighter on course to step into the ring for a November fight on Netflix.
The bout, the main event on a seven-fight card assembled by Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions, is set to take center stage at A&T Stadium, the home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys.
The fight was not certain to take place, and has been postponed once before. Tyson was training for the originally planned July 20 date for this battle, only for a medical issue to oblige both parties to hit pause. However, the event is heading in the right direction, while "Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson," a Netflix documentary, will track the fight preparations and training in great detail.
Fight fans will be glad to hear that Tyson has announced that he's overcome all medical issues and is ready to fight. Paul, meanwhile, improved his professional record to 10-1, filling the summer fight date with his seventh win by knockout.
