In a statement obtained by Variety from Tyson via MVP Promotions, the former heavyweight champion said, "Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly. I am thankful to the medical staff that treated me and to MVP, Netflix and AT&T Stadium for working diligently to find the best reschedule date for all parties. While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight. Jake Paul is getting knocked out. On Friday, November 15, watch this in-person at AT&T Stadium or live on Netflix."
Paul-Tyson will be streamed live on Netflix and the match will be contested at heavyweight and is scheduled for eight two-minute rounds.
