In case you missed it, the highly anticipated showdown between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is set to take place on November 15th, streamed live on Netflix.
Originally scheduled for July 20th, the Paul-Tyson match was postponed due to a medical emergency involving Tyson. The event, which will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, promises to be a historic showdown between two iconic figures in the world of boxing.
In the lead-up to the main event, Netflix released a three-part docuseries, Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the intense preparations of both fighters.
Aside from the main event, the undercard will feature a rematch between undisputed super lightweight champion Katie Taylor and unified featherweight champion Amanda Serrano.
Jake Paul, a popular 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer, has gained recognition for his high-profile fights, defeating some notable names, including former NBA player Nate Robinson; former MMA fighters Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz; and professional boxers Andre August and Ryan Bourland.
Mike Tyson, on the other hand, is a boxing legend. Known for his devastating power and intimidating presence, Tyson was the first heavyweight champion to hold all three major titles — WBC, WBA, and IBF — at the same time. Now 58, he is eager to return to the ring and showcase his skills once again.
Boxing fans can tune in to Netflix at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT on November 15th ( 9 a.m. on November 16th in the Philippines) to witness this historic event and experience the thrill of live boxing from the comfort of their homes.
