Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are gearing up for what's shaping up to be an unprecedented event in the world of boxing. Slated for July 20th, this exhibition fight will take place at the AT&T Stadium in Texas. Fans from around the globe can watch the action live on Netflix, marking a unique approach to broadcasting such a high-profile event. With 80,000 tickets available, anticipation is building rapidly.
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.
Mike Tyson, a legendary figure in boxing, made headlines in 2020 when he returned to the ring after 14 years for an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr.
Now, he faces Jake Paul, a controversial yet undeniably talented fighter who has quickly risen through the ranks. Paul's last fight saw him defeating Ryan Bourland via knockout. Notably, this upcoming match will be his first foray into the heavyweight division, moving up from cruiserweight.
Jake Paul, always one to stir interest with his words as much as with his fists, made several statements leading up to the fight. Addressing the fans directly, he said,
"It wouldn’t matter which side they choose for the victory, as they wouldn’t want to miss this event for the world."
He didn't shy away from boldly claiming his intent against Tyson either: "Time to put Iron Mike to sleep." Reflecting on the significance of the event for his promotional outfit Most Valuable Promotions, Paul remarked,
"Within just two and a half years of founding Most Valuable Promotions, we’re about to produce the biggest fight in history, a fight in the biggest NFL stadium in the US, broadcast live on the biggest streaming platform in the world."
The buildup to this encounter highlights not only the contrasting phases of their careers but also emphasizes how modern technology and platforms like Netflix are changing how we experience sports events. As Jake Paul steps into uncharted territory against a boxing icon like Mike Tyson, all eyes will be on Texas come July 20th.
