Jake Paul To Face Off Against Mike Tyson, Live On Netflix!

While YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul has shown tremendous growth as a boxer on his path to becoming a world champion since turning pro in 2020, is he ready to face off against “Iron” Mike Tyson, one of the most feared boxers in the ring? We’re about to find out!

That’s right, Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions announced their first-ever partnership in a heavyweight boxing mega-event headlined by Jake Paul (9-1, 6 KOs) vs. Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs). Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson will stream live globally, exclusively on Netflix on Saturday, July 20, 2024 from the 80,000-seat capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson marks Jake Paul’s most-anticipated fight to date and his second fight of 2024 following back-to-back sensational knockouts against professional boxers and Golden Glove winners Ryan Bourland this past Saturday, March 2 and Andre August in December 2023. Paul has shown tremendous growth as a boxer on his path to becoming a world champion, but now will take on one of the best and most dangerous boxers of all time in Mike Tyson.

“It’s crazy to think that in my second pro fight, I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson’s undercard. Now, less than four years later, I’m stepping up to face Tyson myself to see if I have what it takes to beat one of boxing’s most notorious fighters and biggest icons,” said Jake Paul. “Within just two and a half years of founding MVP, we’re about to produce the biggest fight in history, broadcast live, on the biggest streaming platform in the world.”

“Whether you’re tuning in on Netflix or showing up in person, whether you’re team Paul or team Tyson, or whether you’re a lifelong boxing fan or watching your first fight, you’re not going to want to miss this event. I could not be more excited to make this amazing fight available to all Netflix subscribers alongside the hardest hitter of all time, Mike Tyson, on Saturday, July 20th. My sights are set on becoming a world champion, and now I have a chance to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion ever, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time. This will be the fight of a lifetime.”

Mike Tyson’s legacy is undisputed. The legendary former undisputed world heavyweight champ is one of the biggest stars the sport of boxing has ever seen. “Iron” Mike is recognized as one of the greatest fighters of all time, ESPN’s #1 hardest hitter in heavyweight history, and the youngest heavyweight champion ever at just 20 years old. His explosive power and ferocious fighting style led to a staggering run of 37 consecutive victories, with 33 of those wins coming by knockout.

“I’m very much looking forward to stepping into the ring with Jake Paul,” said Mike Tyson. “He’s grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a ‘kid’ can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT. It’s a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch; as I started him on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones and now I plan to finish him.”

Since establishing MVP in 2021, Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul have disrupted combat sports, producing some of the world’s biggest events, making history in women’s boxing and giving a new platform to young fighters. Partnering with Netflix to bring Paul vs Tyson to audiences worldwide is a strategic decision to ensure this once in a lifetime event that connects six generations of sports fans is distributed globally to hundreds of millions of fans.

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is a once in a lifetime dream matchup, and it could very well be the most-watched boxing event in modern boxing history. Partnering with Netflix brings this incredible clash of two of sports biggest names to the world on an unprecedented scale.

“Mike Tyson is one of the biggest icons in boxing history and Jake Paul is one of the biggest disruptors in boxing history,” said Gabe Spitzer, Vice President, Nonfiction Sports, Netflix. “Saturday, July 20 will be pure drama in the ring in Texas. We can’t wait for these two to face off for fans all across the world on Netflix.”

This should be a pretty epic showdown between the up-and-coming boxer and the GOAT, and I will definitely be tuning in live to see how it all goes down! Personally, I don’t think Jake Paul stands a chance, as Tyson is still an absolute beast in the ring, as evident by some of his recent training videos. I think Paul will fall in the first or second round. 🥊
