Where to watch epic Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul showdown as fight start time confirmed

The countdown is on for the epic showdown between Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul, as the pair will finally meet in the boxing ring later this month.

Former heavyweight champion Tyson, now 58, is set to take on 27-year-old YouTuber Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Texas on November 16.

This comes after a delay, with the event originally scheduled for July this year. However, Tyson was forced to withdraw after suffering from an ulcer flare-up.

Some in the boxing community have criticised that the fight is even going ahead following Iron Mike's health concerns, with his last professional fight concluding in 2005.

However, he did participate in an exhibition event in 2020 and long-time rival Lennox Lewis has said he thinks Tyson can cause 'trouble' for Paul.
