The live sports event will happen in Arlington, Texas, at AT&T Stadium.
Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) and Netflix today revealed their first-ever partnership in a heavyweight boxing mega-event featuring Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) vs. Jake “El Gallo” Paul (9-1, 6 KOs), also known as “The Problem Child.” On July 20, 2024, Netflix will stream Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson live from Arlington, Texas’s AT&T Stadium, home to the Dallas Cowboys and containing up to 80,000 seats.
Jake Paul’s most-anticipated fight to date is against Mike Tyson. Paul’s second 2024 fight comes following losses to Golden Glove winner Ryan Bourland on March 2 and Andre August in December 2023. Paul has come a long way as a fighter on his way to becoming a world champion. But now he will face Mike Tyson, who is one of the best and most dangerous boxers of all time.
“It’s unstable to think that I went viral after knocking out Nate Robinson in my second professional fight on the undercard of Mike Tyson’s show.” “After less than four years, I’m taking on Tyson to see if I have what it takes to beat one of the most famous and feared boxers of all time,” Jake. We’re about to launch the biggest fight in history after 2.5 years as MVP. The biggest US NFL stadium and streaming platform will host and show it live. Amazing how much we’ve done so fast.” If this is your first fight or you’ve been a fighting fan for years, don’t miss this event on Netflix or in person, Team Paul or Team Tyson. I’m excited Netflix subscribers can watch Mike Tyson, the hardest hitter ever, fight on July 20th.
Want to become a world winner? Now I have the chance to show them I’m the best by beating the all-time great heavyweight champion, the sexiest man in the world, and the most dangerous boxer ever. This is going to be the best fight of your life.”
Iron Mike: A Boxing Legend
Mike Tyson is one of the most famous boxers of all time. He was the undisputed world heavyweight king for many years. The “Baddest Man on the Planet” is known as one of the best fighters of all time. At age 20, he was the youngest heavyweight winner ever and ESPN’s #1 hardest hitter in heavyweight history. His amazing strength and fierce fighting style helped him win 37 fights in a row, with 33 of those wins coming by knockout.
Mike Tyson said, “I’m excited to put Jake Paul to the test at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.” “He’s come a long way as a boxer over the years, so it will be fun to see what a “kid’s” drive and ambition can do with a GOAT’s skill and experience.” To start him off in boxing on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones, and now I hope to finish him, it’s a moment that will be truly thrilling to watch.
Since MVP in 2021, Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul switched to combat sports. They have hosted world-class tournaments, established history in women’s boxing, and given budding fighters a stage. Working with Netflix to broadcast Paul vs. Tyson worldwide is a sensible move that will ensure hundreds of millions of sports fans see this once-in-a-lifetime event that unites six generations of fans.

Netflix has a lot of great sports shows, like “Jake Paul the Problem Child” on “Untold” last year. Other popular shows include “Formula 1: Drive to Survive,” “Full Swing,” “NASCAR: Full Speed,” “Quarterback,” and “Tour de France: Unchained.” There was a lot of pressure on the U.S. women’s World Cup team and the Six Nations games. And from 2025 on, WWE Raw will be shown on Netflix. The Netflix Cup and The Netflix Slam were the first two live sports events that Netflix showed. Paul vs. Tyson will be their third.
Gabe Spitzer, Vice President of Nonfiction Sports at Netflix, said, “Mike Tyson is one of the most famous boxers in history, and Jake Paul is one of the most unique boxers in history.” “Lightning will strike in the ring in Texas on July 20. Most Valuable Promotions and we are both very excited about this unique event. We can’t wait for fans all over the world to see these two fight on Netflix.
