Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson: Netflix Hypes Live Fight With Teaser Trailer — Find Out When It Airs
Netflix has released a trailer for its highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, which is being hailed by one promoter as “a showdown that will be talked about for generations to come.”
The YouTuber and the heavyweight champion will duke it out on Friday, Nov. 15 at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT, live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. (The match was originally supposed to take place in July, but an ulcer flare up forced Tyson’s doctors to intervene.)

“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 a previous statement. “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.”
Added Tyson: “I’m very much looking forward to stepping into the ring with Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. He’s grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a ‘kid’ can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT. It’s a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch, as I started him off on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones and now I plan to finish him.”
Netflix previously announced that Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson, a three-part documentary series with “intimate access to the fighters,” will precede the main event; Episodes 1 and 2 will be released Thursday, Nov. 7, while Episode 3 will follow on Tuesday, Nov. 12. Watch a trailer for that series below.
