Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are on course for a heavyweight fight that has taken over the boxing world, with the former world champion and the YouTuber-turned-boxer the main event for a November fight card on Netflix.
The streaming giant and Most Valuable Promotions are putting on the bout at the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The contest was under threat at one point after Tyson experienced an ulcer flare-up that interrupted his training plans ahead of an originally scheduled July 20 fight. Both fighters will feature in a “Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson,” Netflix documentary tracking their preparations and training as the hype for the big bout builds.
Tyson recently declared himself ready for the fight, and has been training to face the 10-1 Paul, whose only professional defeat came in a 2023 split-decision loss to Tommy Fury. Paul kept the originally-planned date of the Tyson fight, claiming a TKO win over Mike Perry, a bareknuckle boxing champion.
