Netflix’s highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has been rescheduled for Friday, November 15, 2024. The fight will take place inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Originally scheduled for July 20, the fight was postponed on May 31 after Tyson suffered an ulcer that forced him to pause training for the foreseeable future.

“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,” Tyson said in a press release. “While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight. Jake Paul is getting knocked out.”

“Paul vs. Tyson is the most cross-generational sporting event in history, and we are committed to providing fans worldwide with this unforgettable night of boxing, live globally on Netflix,” said Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions. “We look forward to seeing everyone on Friday, November 15, for a showdown that will be talked about for generations to come.”

After starting his career as a vlogger and internet superstar, Paul has become a full-time boxer with a record of 9-1 with six knockouts. Meanwhile, Tyson is a former heavyweight champion boxer with a career record of 50-6, with 44 knockouts. Tyson has not fought professionally since 2005.

The co-main event will feature the rematch between undisputed super lightweight world champion Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) and unified featherweight champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano (46-2-1, 30 KOs).

The fight between Paul and Tyson is another push from Netflix to boost its live programming. Last month, The Roast of Tom Brady became one of Netflix’s most popular TV shows for several weeks. Later this year, Netflix will broadcast two NFL games on Christmas. In January 2025, WWE Raw will begin streaming on Netflix for at least the next 10 years.

Scary Movie 6 returned after more than a decade, and the gamble paid off at the box office. The sixth installment debuted to $55 million domestically, the best opening weekend in the series' history, and went on to gross over $215 million worldwide as of late June.

Ahead of the movie's June 5 theatrical release, Wayans Bros. Entertainment launched a website called Subservient Ghostface, where you type a command and watch the masked killer carry it out on screen. It's a clever campaign that borrows directly from Burger King's famous Subservient Chicken stunt from 2004, swapping the chicken suit for the horror icon Ghostface from Scream.

Comcast’s breakup is the bluntest warning yet that the cable bundle is losing its grip

Peacock and Xfinity customers should see stability now as NBCUniversal's split rewires the logic behind future streaming perks.

Comcast's breakup sounds like an alarm bell for Peacock, Xfinity, and the monthly internet bill. At the service level, the answer is calmer. Current customers shouldn't expect subscriptions, billing, or broadband plans to change while the company works through the split.

NBC News reports that Comcast plans to spin NBCUniversal and Sky into a separate public company, moving Peacock, Universal, NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, theme parks, and Sky away from the broadband and wireless business. The separation is expected to take about a year.
