The fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson — to be livestreamed on Netflix — will not take place as originally scheduled for July 20 because of Tyson’s recent ulcer flare-up, the event’s promoter said.
The new date of the fight will be announced by next Friday, June 7, according to Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian’s Most Valuable Promotions, which is co-producing the bout with Netflix. The fight, announced in March, will take place at the same venue, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, sometime later in 2024, according to Mvp.
In a statement Friday, Most Valuable Promotions said, “The upcoming highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will unfortunately be postponed. During a follow-up consultation on Thursday with medical professionals on his recent ulcer flare-up, the recommendation is for Mike Tyson to do minimal to light training over the next few weeks and then return to full training with no limitations.

Netflix’s move into live sports continues. The streamer is weighing in to the boxing arena with a fight between heavyweight legend Mike Tyson and upstart Jake Paul.
The streamer will air the fight, which takes place at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday July 20.
It is the company’s latest foray into the live sports field, which launched with golf tournament The Netflix Cup and continued with tennis tournament The Netflix Slam, featuring a match between Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz, earlier this month.
There have been reports over the last six months that Netflix was eyeing boxing as one of its next routes into sports. Boxing has previously tended to be pay-per-view but there will be no additional cost for the fight on Netflix.
Paul started his boxing career in 2018 with a fight against Deji Olatunji and his professional debut was in 2020 against AnEsonGib.

Jake Paul, the social media personality and Disney Channel star turned professional boxer, is set to make his feature film debut in a combat sports drama backed by Mandalay Pictures and Wonder Street
Paul will star as a small-town youth rising to international fame as a pugilist. “Like many other superstar content creators, Jake cracked the code to attract an audience that generates hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue while also delivering his story in a way that connects directly with audiences of all ages,” producer David Zelon said in a statement on Tuesday.
Paul initially became famous on Vine, the defunct social video app, before jumping to YouTube. He also scored a role on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark, though he was let go from the show after some antics on the part of him and his brother Logan Paul, also a social media star turned boxer, made unflattering headlines.
