About Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Boxing Match:

On November 3, 2023, Netflix was reported to be considering streaming a boxing match involving Jake Paul.

On March 7, 2024, Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions announced an event headlined by Jake Paul facing former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, scheduled for July 20, 2024, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The event would stream globally on Netflix.

Initially planned as an exhibition bout, Tyson clarified on April 2, 2024, that while labeled an exhibition, the fight would adhere to professional fight rules, dismissing rumors of oversized gloves and headgear. On April 10, Paul announced their intent to request professional bout sanctioning from the Texas Combative Sports Program. By April 29, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations approved their request, confirming the fight as an 8-round professional bout with 2-minute rounds using 14-ounce gloves.

Netflix confirmed on April 16 that the co-feature bout would be the highly anticipated rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano for the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring lightweight titles. The undercard will also feature a WBC welterweight title bout between Mario Barrios and Abel Ramos.

The event was postponed to November 15, 2024, after Tyson experienced an ulcer flare-up in July. Ahead of the fight, Netflix premiered Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson on November 7, 2024, with Ice-T narrating the series.

With a 31-year age gap between Tyson and Paul, this fight features the largest age difference in professional boxing history.

Netflix experienced technical difficulties in streaming the event live, leading to complaints from viewers about the streamer’s capability to broadcast live events. Presenters included Roy Jones Jr, Cedric the Entertainer, Rosie Perez, Kate Abdo and Ariel Helwani.
