Despite being slated to take place this summer, Jake Paul is finally set to take on legendary boxer Mike Tyson. And for the first time ever, the boxing match will be shown live solely on Netflix.

This is the streaming giant’s inaugural foray into broadcasting live combat sports on the platform. And if you already have Netflix, you’ll be happy to know that there is no extra cost to watch the fight. Or, you could even technically watch it for free by signing up to a certain deal. Read on to find out more..

How to watch Paul vs. Tyson

If you don’t already have Netflix, there is a workaround to essentially get it for free as part of a package deal. At the moment Sky are offering Sky Stream, with Sky TV, Sky Full Fibre 300 Broadband and Netflix, all for just £36. And given that their Full Fibre 300 broadband is usually £29 a month, for just £10 more you’ll also get access to Sky TV and Netflix for not much more.

So, if you were already thinking about switching your broadband or trying out Sky TV, doing so via this deal makes a lot of sense.

If you’d prefer to sign up for Netflix just to watch the fight, Netflix does have a budget-friendly option, costing less than a fiver a month. This means you could sign up for one month and only have to pay £4.99 to watch the bout. It is worth mentioning that this option does include adverts but two devices in your household can watch Netflix at the same time, making it a good option if someone would prefer to watch something other than the boxing that evening.

If you don’t want adverts to interrupt the action, there’s the Standard plan, which comes with all the same benefits but without any ads, for £10.99 a month. Or, if you want the most premium option, the £17.99 a month package allows you to watch on four devices at the same time and has a 4K (Ultra HD) + HDR resolution.

Viewers can tune in live to watch the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson match on Netflix on Friday, 15 November.

What to know about the fight

The fight, which will be sanctioned as a professional bout and contested over eight two-minute rounds, marks Tyson’s return to the ring after four years.

And given that the showdown was originally postponed on medical advice, after Tyson reportedly became unwell while aboard a flight from Miami to Los Angeles earlier this summer, it will be interesting to see if this changes anything.

While it was ultimately blamed on an ulcer flare up, with the fight being pushed back to allow him to recover, his last exhibition match was back in 2020, with his last professional fight taking place back in 2005.

In contrast, Paul’s last fight was earlier this year when he beat American boxer Ryan Bourland in a first round knock-out.

As the youngest Heavyweight Champion in history, Tyson has a record of 50 wins and 6 losses over his 20-year career, with 44 of those wins being knock-outs. While YouTuber and former WWE Champion, Paul, has won nine fights – of which six were knockouts – with one loss.

Paul also has the height advantage at 6ft 1in compared to Tyson’s 5ft 10in frame. But given that all but one of Tyson’s former opponents were taller than him, this might not be as concerning as it sounds. Despite Tyson’s experience and storied career, the biggest factor could be their 30 year age difference. But time will tell exactly what kind of impact this will have on the fight.

The highly anticipated bout will be held at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. And it isn’t the only matchup on the card. In the co-main event, undisputed super lightweight world champion Katie Taylor is set for a rematch against unified featherweight champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano.

Timings have still to be confirmed but we will let you know as soon as we do.

Jake Paul has revealed how his upcoming Mike Tyson fight could be his ‘biggest payday’ thanks to some pretty lucrative bonuses in his contract.

It’s time to set your alarms boxing fans, as one of the most highly anticipated fights of 2024 is set to happen in just under two days.

This Friday (15 November) Jake ‘The Problem Child’ Paul will face off against Tyson in-front of up to 80,000 fans at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas and even more tuning in from home on Netflix.

Considering the amount of coverage leading up to the fight it’s very likely that both Paul and Tyson are set to get a major payday, with the former YouTuber recently boasting in a press conference that he is set to make £31 million ($40m).

Which certainly make spending eight rounds being punched by Mike Tyson sound a lot more appealing.

Meanwhile 58-year-old ‘Iron Mike’ is said to have accepted a deal of £15.4 million ($20m) according to reports published by The Sun. However, the official figures have not been released to public.

Paul meanwhile seems to have made it is his mission to let absolutely everyone who is willing to listen know that he is in line to make serious money from the fight – which includes some pretty lucrative bonuses.

Speaking about how much extra cash the pair could make during an exclusive interview with SPORTbible, Paul claimed built-in bonus clauses meant the he and his 58-year-old opponent could be in line for a big pay out.

“There are definitely certain guaranteed figures and other certain built-in bonuses and stuff on top of sales – key performance indicators that trigger certain things,” The Problem Child explained.

The 28-year-old remained coy on exactly how much extra he could be making, but made sure to let us all know the match is set to be a very big payday for him.

“This is definitely my biggest payday, of all the fights for sure,” he added. “It is definitely a healthy payday.”

Tyson on the other hand stated that he is going into the fight wanting glory instead of cash.

“This fight is not going to change my life financially,” he added. “If I did it for free, it’s not going to change my life. My wife is constantly telling me, you do not need to do this fight.

“This is what I want to do, this is me. I’m seeking my glory.”

Rules of watching the long-awaited fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson on Netflix have been revealed.

One of the biggest boxing events of the year is set to take place this Friday night, or in the early hours of Saturday (16 November) if you’re in the UK, headlined by a YouTuber and a former undisputed heavyweight champion.

What a world we live in.

What to know about the clash between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson

The event will take place in the US at the 80,000 capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, between ‘Iron Mike’ and ‘The Problem Child’.

That’s as long as Tyson can pass two health tests prior to their bout, after their original fight was postponed following a health scare for the 58-year-old.

The headline match-up between Tyson and Paul, who is 31 years his junior, will round off a night of seven clashes, including a rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano for the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO and Ring lightweight titles.

After the former pulled out of their bout, Paul defeated replacement fighter, former UFC star Mike Perry, in six rounds.

But now, fans are ready to see the two finally face off, eight months on from their original fight announcement, as Tyson makes his second sensational return to the ring after coming out of a 15-year retirement in 2020 to fight Roy Jones Jr.

Will there be a pay-per-view fee for the Netflix fight?

The fight was announced to be available to stream on Netflix, but users have been curious if an additional PPV fee would apply to watch the fight.

Well, not needing to pay an extra fee for such a big boxing clash almost seems too good to be true, right?

Wrong – the Paul vs Tyson clash will be available on a standard Netflix subscription at no extra cost, as a current plan with adverts will set you back £4.99 a month, while a standard subscription with no ads costs £10.99 per month.

A premium subscription, which allows you to watch on four devices and add two members of a separate household, will set you back £17.99, monthly.

In theory, this means you could just sign up for a month if you don’t have the streaming service, and pay less than a fiver.

It’s important to note that you need a TV license in order to watch Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson, as the BBC told LADbible earlier this year that you require a license to watch any live event on Netflix.

If you don’t, you could be facing a £1,000 fine.

Can I watch the fight if I don’t have Netflix?

If you don’t already have Netflix, there is a workaround to essentially get it for free as part of a package deal. At the moment Sky are offering Sky Stream, with Sky TV, Sky Full Fibre 300 Broadband and Netflix, all for just £36 as part of a limited-time Black Friday deal. And given that their Full Fibre 300 broadband is usually £29 a month, for just £10 more you’ll also get access to Sky TV and Netflix for not much more.

When you should tune into Netflix

The undercard will start at 1.00am UK time (8.00pm ET) on 16 November, though Paul and Tyson are only set to make their way to the ring around 4.00am UK time (11.00pm ET).

If you’re interested in tuning into the weigh-in, this is meant to take place on Thursday (14 November) at 1.00am UK time (8.00pm ET).

It is unclear how big Paul will be coming in, having bulked up to just north of 100kg for their original date, though he revealed on the TimboSugarShow podcast that he aims to be at around the same weight at 224 lbs (101kg).

This is around the same weight Tyson was for his fight with Roy Jones Jr. in 2020.

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are set to exchange blows in a heavyweight boxing match viewed by millions around the world tonight, live on Netflix.

But there will be strict rules both fighters have to follow when it comes to the fight being a fully sanctioned, professional bout.

Taking place in Arlington, Texas, the two boxers will make millions when they finally fight at the home of the Dallas Cowboys with more than 70,000 spectators expected to turn up and take their seats, with a number of famous faces to gather around ringside.

Tensions have risen in the build up to the fight, with Tyson slapping Paul at their weigh-in and final face-to-face encounter last night (14 November).

Taking to the ring at 10pm CT on Friday (15 November), the ring walks for both fighters will be at roughly 4am GMT on Saturday (16 November) for UK viewers. The undercard will begin around three hours before this.

As part of the regulations set out by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, Tyson has already had to pass a brain test (EEG) and a heart test (EKG) before being allowed to step inside the ring.

And the regulations don’t stop there, with Paul explaining specific drug testing rules that are in place for the fight.

Paul recently made an appearance on the Suga Sean O’Malley podcast, where he clarified the drug-test rules for the fight.

O’Malley’s coach, Tim Welch, said: “They’ve got to let Mike use some special supplements, a little bit. I mean 58-years-old.

“Having the lifestyle that he’s had, his natural testosterone can’t be that high, so hopefully he’s able to get boosted up a little bit.”

Replying to the testosterone comments Paul said: “Well, there’s like a big, panel, drugs test from the Texas State Commission.”

Tyson has openly admitted to his recreational drug use, with him being an avid user of psychedelic substances. In August, he even said he ‘always trains on mushrooms’, in reference to his consumption of magic mushrooms.

Making the comment on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, he said consuming them ‘makes him feel beautiful’.

“They take me to heaven, baby,” he said.

Paul has had to come out and deny that he uses performance enhancing drugs after meritless steroid accusations were put his way.

“First of all, obviously none of that is true,” Paul said on a podcast ahead of one of his fights, even publishing his own negative drugs tests to prove he is clean.

Under Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation rules, boxers cannot be under the influence of any drugs, unless prescribed by your doctor.

Boxers cannot engage in the manufacture, sale, distribution, use, or possession of illegal drugs at any time.

And the drugs for which tests are required under the regulations are marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, phencyclidine (PCP), and opiates.

Jake Paul is the favourite to win the fight with bookmakers, coming in at 13/18 while Tyson is priced at 2/1. The draw is currently even.
