Social media sensation Jake Paul faces heavyweight legend ‘Iron Mike’ Tyson in Texas this winter in one of the most anticipated and controversial fights of the year.
The Big Fight: Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson
YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul will step into the ring against boxing icon Mike Tyson in what is being hailed as one of the biggest fights of 2024. Paul, who has successfully transitioned from internet fame to the boxing world, is eyeing his 10th professional win. However, he considers the 57-year-old Tyson to be his toughest challenge yet.
Tyson’s last professional bout was nearly two decades ago, but he made a notable return in November 2020 for an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. Interestingly, Paul also fought on the undercard of that event, where he knocked out NBA star Nate Robinson. Here’s everything you need to know about this major fight…
Fight Date and Time: When and Where?
The professional bout between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is scheduled for November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, home to the Dallas Cowboys. The stadium can host up to 80,000 fans, promising a spectacular atmosphere. The exact fight time has not yet been confirmed, but it is expected to take place around 4 AM on Saturday, November 16, UK time. The fight will be broadcast live on Netflix, available to all subscribers.

Quotes from the Fighters
Jake Paul: “I think he’s always wanted to do this. This has been a long time coming. We’ve been calling each other out for years and we finally got to make it happen on Netflix, the biggest platform in the world. Mike wanted this to be a pro fight. He wants the war, and so I respect that. I respect him for stepping up to try to put an end to me because that’s what all these fighters have been trying to do—end the YouTuber. If Mike can do that, then he’s a hero.”
Mike Tyson: “Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly. 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.”
This bout between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is set to be an unforgettable event, blending the worlds of traditional boxing and modern social media influence. Make sure to mark your calendars for November 15 and catch all the action live.
