The highly anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson, a boxing legend in his late 50s who hasn't fought professionally in nearly two decades, and Jake Paul, a YouTube star who began his fighting career just a few years ago, will finally take place this one Week.

The game, originally announced in March, will take place on a new date, months after the original date of July 20th was postponed.

How to watch the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson

The fight between Tyson and Paul will be broadcast on Netflix.

While this is not the more common and expensive pay-per-view format followed by most major boxing events, it does require a Netflix subscription.

How long will the fight last and how many rounds?

Although Tyson vs. Paul is recognized as a professional match, it is scheduled for eight rounds lasting two minutes each instead of the usual three minutes.

Heavyweight fighting uses 14-ounce gloves, which are unusually heavy.

Why was the fight postponed?

The first postponement came after Tyson, 58, became ill on a flight. Tyson's camp attributed the incident to an ulcer problem.

“Overall, my body is in better shape than it has been since the 1990s and I will soon be able to return to my full training program,” Tyson said in a statement marking the match's first postponement. “Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but in the end you will still be unconscious and out of boxing forever. I appreciate everyone’s patience and can’t wait to deliver an unforgettable performance later this year.”

Paul, 27, said he “fully supports” the postponement “so that Mike Tyson has no more excuses on fight night.”

“My fans know that I only want to fight Iron Mike at my best, but let's be clear: when he gets in the ring with me, I will be ready to get my W with a sensational finish,” says Paul said in a statement at the time.
