Netflix’s fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, which was originally set to take place in July, will now stream live on Friday, November 15th. Last week, they announced the event would be postponed after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up during a flight, affecting his ability to train ahead of the original date.

“Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly,” Tyson said in a statement. “While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight. Jake Paul is getting knocked out.” The fight will still be held in the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, marking Tyson’s first officially sanctioned match since 2005.

The rescheduled fight’s undercard will also feature a boxing match between super lightweight world champion Katie Taylor and unified featherweight champion Amanda Serrano.

Aside from this upcoming event, Netflix has some other live content on its plate, including the NFL games it’s going to air this Christmas and the WWE’s Monday Night Raw it will start streaming next year.
