Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are in for a big fight as the former heavyweight champion will step into the ring to take on the YouTube sensation fighter in a November bout that will stream exclusively on Netflix.

Tyson vs. Paul will be the headliner of a seven-fight card put together by the streaming giant and Most Valuable Promotions, with AT&T Stadium – home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys – hosting a bout that will set the fight world abuzz.

Originally scheduled for July 20th, this game had to be postponed. Tyson suffered a medical issue, causing both parties to agree on a new date for the fight. Tyson has since been cleared to resume training at 100%, while Netflix announced Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson, a documentary that will follow both boxers as they prepare for the big event.
