MIKE TYSON TO FIGHT JAKE PAUL SET FOR JULY 20 ON NETFLIX

Mike Tyson is stepping back into the ring — this time against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

The match is set for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The event will be livestreamed exclusively on Netflix via a partnership between the streaming giant and Paul’s Most Valuable Productions, Netflix announced Thursday.

“It’s crazy to think that in my second pro fight, I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson’s undercard,” Paul said, in part, in a statement included with Thursday’s press release. “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.”

Tyson, in a statement shared by Netflix, acknowledged Paul’s accomplishments.

Tyson isn’t the only one doing some trash-talking: On X, Paul said it was his plan to “put Iron Mike to sleep” on fight night. He also poked fun at Tyson’s face tattoo and ear-biting incident on YouTube.

Netflix has yet to announce any undercards for the July 20 fight. Additional details will be announced at a later date, Netflix said.
