The boxer and vlogger Jake Paul has been assigned a new opponent instead of Mike Tyson for the boxing event on July 20.
Paul's opponent in the ring will be Mike Perry (0-1), a former UFC fighter who has transitioned into boxing.
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson were slated to have a boxing match on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, USA, as the main event of the card, which will be broadcasted on Netflix.
However, the bout between the 27-year-old blogger and "Iron Mike" was postponed due to health complications with the boxing legend. The new date for the Tyson-Paul bout is November 15. The venue for the event remains unchanged.
It was previously reported that the bout would be sanctioned as a professional match.
