More details about the fighters

Mike Tyson, 58, is one of the most popular figures in boxing, at least for millennials and older generations who grew up knowing his story. While he was an incredible boxer, Tyson is mostly remembered by his controversies, particularly by The Bite Fight. The incident occurred in 1997 when, mid-fight, Tyson bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear. This led to Tyson losing the match and his boxing license, although it was later reissued to him. 

Tyson retired in 2005 with a 50-6 record but remained in the spotlight due to his larger-than-life personality, appearing in popular events like WrestleMania and the box office hit "The Hangover" in 2009. 

Jake Paul is 27 years old and rose to fame on social media platforms like Vine and YouTube, making videos of himself recreating movie scenes and later on setting things on fire or pulling off dangerous stunts. In 2017, he was briefly featured in "Bizaardvark," the Disney Channel show that also featured Olivia Rodrigo. 

He ventured into amateur boxing in 2018, fighting various aging martial arts fighters and revitalizing an interest in the sport. He has a 10-1 record. 

How can I watch it? 

The fight can be watched by anyone with a Netflix subscription. There are available on the website for different price points, including Standard with ads, for $6.99, Standard, for $15.49, and Premium, for $22.99. Various bars all over town will likely be screening the fight, making it easier for sports fans who want to catch the fight to go to one of these locations without having to open a Netflix account.
