Jake Paul has confirmed a rescheduled date for his fight with Mike Tyson.

The highly anticipated boxing match between YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, 27, and Tyson, 57, was originally scheduled to take place on on 20 July at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

However, the match was thrown into doubt after Tyson suffered a medical emergency while on-board a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on 27 May.

It was reported that he had been feeling 'nauseous and dizzy' on the flight 30 minutes before landing. His representatives later confirmed that it was an ulcer flare up.

"He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him," they added.

Tyson later issued an update to fans about his health, writing: "Now feeling 100 percent even though I don’t need to be to beat Jake Paul."

However, days later it was announced that the fight had been postponed.

Netflix was quick to reassure fans the fight would take place... just at a later date.

"Tyson’s recent ulcer flare up has limited his ability to train fully for the next few weeks," it wrote on X.

"The fight will be rescheduled for a date later this year after Mike’s able to resume training with no limitations and both fighters can have equal time to prepare for this once-in-a-lifetime matchup!”

And now that later date was been confirmed, with Paul sharing exactly when it'll take place in a post on X.

"New date, same place, same fate," he penned, alongside a poster of himself and Tyson.

The fight is now set to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on 15 November.

Following the announcement of the fight being postponed, Paul shared his own statement on social media, in which said he wanted Tyson to be healthy as he had 'so much respect for him'.

He wrote: "Obviously devastating news, I'm heartbroken, speechless, like gutted.

"We've been working so hard over here, everyone in this camp, and I just feel bad for everyone involved in this event, the whole undercard, this opportunity has been ripped from all of us.

"But I do value Mike's health first and foremost. Love that guy, I have so much respect for him and I want Mike to be healthy.

"He says he still is gonna knock me out and I bought myself some time, so Mike is still talking s**t over there, but Mike if you want to do this behind closed doors, behind the scenes you say you want to do this in Q4 you just need a little bit of time.

"I'm ready whenever you are, this is too big of an opportunity, I think this fight's gonna change the world and I turn all my L's into W's.

"That's the motto I live by, the universe makes no mistakes so let's see what's in store, but sorry this didn't work out to everyone, the fans, love you guys."
