Mike Tyson and Jake Paul collide on November 15th.
The fight was originally scheduled for this weekend but an ulcer flare-up meant that the boxing legend had to pull out of the fight.
Jake Paul now faces former UFC star Mike Perry on Saturday night with the Tyson clash moved to November.
When speaking in a recent interview with Esquire the former undisputed heavyweight champion was asked to compare the November comeback fight with his own 1988 victory over a 38-year-old Larry Holmes, but Tyson refused to even consider it and explained why.

“Larry Holmes was a legendary fighter who was fighting a champion who was active every day of his life,” Tyson said. ‘I am fighting a YouTuber… It doesn’t matter how seriously he’s taking it. He is who he is.’
“Can I be honest? I don’t think he can hurt me.
“I don’t think this was meant to be done by any man but me, I love it.”
