Jake Paul will still face off against Mike Tyson in the ring … the highly-anticipated boxing match has been rescheduled for November 15.
As we previously reported — the bout slated for July 20 was pushed back after medical professionals told Iron Mike to take it easy for a few weeks due to a recent ulcer flare.
The bout will still go down at the home of the Dallas Cowboys — AT&T Stadium in Arlington — and air on Netflix.
The Cowboys actually have a home game that week … although it’s a Monday Night Football matchup against the Houston Texans, so there are a few days for crew members to get the facility ready in time for kickoff.
There were a number of fighters willing to step in for Tyson after the postponement was announced last week — including Ryan Garcia, ex-NFL star Brandon Jacobs and Jake’s own brother, Logan.
They’re missing out on the opportunity this time around … but who knows — maybe they’ll get their shot after the November event.
Tyson released a statement on the new date … saying it doesn’t matter when they fight — he’s ending Paul regardless.
“Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly,” Tyson said Friday. “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.”
“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.”
