The much awaited Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions Mike Tyson v Jake Paul Boxing mega-event is scheduled to take place at AT&T Stadium on November 15 and is now less than one month away. It is a unique bout that will pit the great Mike Tyson against the eccentric YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
The fight was originally set for July 20, but it was rescheduled after Tyson, who required medical attention after having a scare on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on May 26, was told to rest and not resume training for a few weeks, according to a statement from MVP, Paul’s promotional company.
Jake Paul Boxing, an exclusive docuseries from Netflix, is a behind-the-scenes look at the competition that will arrive on Netflix on November 7.

On November 15, commencing at 8 p.m. ET, the Paul-Tyson boxing match will be streamed live on Netflix from the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Netflix is teaming with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) for the event, headlined by Jake “El Gallo” Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) versus Mike “Baddest Man on the Planet” Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs).
The Paul vs Tyson bout is a part of Netflix’s limited but expanding live programming lineup, which also features the Netflix Slam tennis event and the Netflix Cup golf competition.
In its biggest foray yet into live sports, Netflix acquired worldwide streaming rights to two NFL games on Christmas Day 2024 (Chiefs vs. Steelers and Ravens vs Texans).
The highly anticipated battle between Paul, 27, and Tyson, 58, was originally scheduled for July but was postponed until November when MVP declared that Tyson needed time to heal from an ulcer flare-up.
