In the wake of its successful foray into tennis with the “Nextflix Slam,” Netflix is now stepping into the world of boxing. Following the thrilling showdown between Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz, fans can gear up for another epic clash: the return of legendary boxer Mike Tyson to the ring, thanks to Netflix Live Sports Events.
Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is set to make his comeback against none other than the YouTube sensation turned boxer, Jake Paul. The much-anticipated match is scheduled to take place at the iconic AT&T Stadium, home to the Dallas Cowboys, on July 20th. Viewers worldwide can catch all the action live exclusively on Netflix, marking the platform’s debut in broadcasting combat sports events.
Despite being 30 years Tyson’s junior at just 27, Jake Paul’s meteoric rise in the boxing world has captured global attention. While some critics argue that such crossover matches undermine the sport’s integrity, there’s no denying their appeal and financial success. Last year, Paul reportedly earned approximately $9 million from his bout against boxer and reality TV star Tommy Fury, despite ending in defeat. With the Tyson-Paul showdown on the horizon, both fighters are poised to rake in even greater earnings.
