Tyson-Paul Fight to Take Place on November 15th
Former World Heavyweight Champion Returns to the Ring
Netflix to Broadcast the Unusual Boxing Match
The highly anticipated boxing match between former undisputed heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul has been rescheduled for November 15th. The fight, which was originally slated for September, was postponed due to an unspecified injury to Tyson. The bout will take place at ATT Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will be broadcast for the first time on Netflix, as the streaming giant enters the fight game.
Tyson, 54, is a former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, who retired from boxing in 2005. He is considered one of the greatest boxers of all time, and his return to the ring has generated significant attention. Paul, 24, is a YouTuber and social media star, who turned professional boxer in 2019. He has a record of 5-0, with four of his wins coming by knockout.
The fight has been met with mixed reactions, with some critics questioning whether Tyson should be fighting at all, given his age and history of substance abuse. However, others have praised the fight as a unique and entertaining event that will bring new fans to the sport of boxing.
The fight will be broadcast on Netflix, which marks the first time that the streaming giant has ever hosted a boxing match. The move is seen as a sign of Netflix's growing interest in live sports, and could lead to more boxing matches being broadcast on the platform in the future.
