Mike Tyson is set to fight Jake Paul in his first professional boxing match in almost 20 years, and Netflix will broadcast the event.
Tyson, 58, has not fought professionally since sustaining a devastating loss to Kevin McBride in June 2005.
However, he did engage in an exhibition bout with fellow boxing legend Roy Jones Jr in November 2020, which ended in a split decision draw.

Paul, 27, has cut a confident figure in the build-up to the fight, claiming he wants to ‘knock out’ Tyson despite being 31 years younger than the former world heavyweight champion.
The pair came face to face during the weigh-in held at Toyota Music Factory in Texas on Thursday.
Paul taunted Tyson, who could not contain his anger before slapping his opponent in the face as the pair faced off for the final time.

The 58-year-old is in fantastic shape ahead of the bout, and fans caught a glimpse of his mean side as he weighed in, with the American making an ‘X-rated’ gesture towards the crowd.
Paul was formerly known as a YouTuber but has grown to prominence as a boxer and promotor, already competing against the likes of UFC legends Tyrone Woodley and Nate Diaz.
The pair will take to the ring in front of an estimated 70,000 fans who are expected to be in attendance at the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The two fighters will take to the ring around 10 pm local time (CT) on Friday, 15 November.

As for UK viewers, who are six hours ahead, the fight should take place around 4 am (GMT) on Saturday, 16 November, but this will depend on the length of the undercard fights.
Arguably, the stand-out bout on the undercard is the clash between undisputed lightweight and super lightweight champ Katie Taylor and seven-time world champion Amanda Serrano.
The pair previously fought in November 2022 at Madison Square Garden, with the fight billed as the ‘biggest women’s fight of all time’.

On that occasion, Taylor was awarded a split decision victory, which was surrounded by controversy as many fans thought Serrano had done enough for the win.
So, with a stacked undercard and mouth-watering main event, it would be wise to sort out how you want to watch the historic bout.
