YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul faced a delay of four months for his highly anticipated match against former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. The delay was due to Tyson experiencing a medical episode on a plane and needing time to recover from a stomach ulcer. The rescheduled bout is scheduled to take place on Friday night at the $1.2 billion retractable roof home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas. The state has sanctioned the fight as a professional bout with certain modifications.
For those looking to watch the fight, the exact time of the main event on Friday night is uncertain but could be close to midnight Eastern time. The telecast is set to begin at 8 p.m. Eastern. Unlike traditional pay-per-view formats, this fight will require a Netflix subscription, with the streaming service boasting over 280 million subscribers worldwide as of the end of the third quarter in 2024.
