The highly anticipated boxing showdown between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, along with the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano undercard, now has a rescheduled date of November 15th.
Following a brief delay due to Tyson’s health concerns, Most Valuable Promotions, the fight’s organizer, has confirmed the event’s relocation to Friday, November 15th. The venue remains AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Netflix secured global streaming rights to the event earlier this year, as part of its expanding live events lineup.
Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions, expressed gratitude for the collaborative effort in rescheduling the event. Bidarian highlighted the significance of the match, describing it as a historic sporting event spanning generations and committed to delivering an unforgettable experience to fans worldwide.
Netflix’s venture into live events, including a recent agreement with the NFL for Christmas Day games, underscores its strategic shift. Analysts predict the Tyson-Paul bout to draw record viewership, leveraging Netflix’s extensive subscriber base and accessibility.
Tyson, sidelined by health issues, assures fans of his imminent return to training, expressing gratitude for the support received from medical professionals and event partners. Despite the delay, Tyson remains confident in the fight’s outcome, asserting Paul’s inevitable defeat.
