CBSN
The mega event is set for Nov. 15 in Arlington, Texas after a brief delay
For better or worse, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are set to clash on Nov. 15. The bout comes after delays and concerns over whether a fight between the 27-year-old Paul and 58-year-old Tyson should actually share the boxing ring.
While there are plenty of questions and concerns heading into the bout, it is guaranteed to draw tremendous amounts of both attention and money. The heavyweight fight will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and will stream live on Netflix (more on that below).
Tyson, the former undisputed heavyweight champion, has not fought a professional fight since 2005 when he retired in his corner in a bout with Kevin McBride. While troubles plagued his life, including three years in prison after being convicted of rape in 1992, Tyson has rehabilitated his public image over the past decade.
