and Most Valuable Promotions Partner on Jake Paul
vs. Mike Tyson, a Global Live Sports Event To Stream
Exclusively on Netflix on Saturday July 20
March
8, 2024
The
Live Professional Sports Event Will Take Place at
AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Netflix
and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) today announced
their first-ever partnership in a heavyweight boxing
mega-event headlined by The Problem Child, Jake El
Gallo Paul (9-1, 6 KOs) vs. the Baddest Man
on the Planet, Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs). Jake Paul
vs. Mike Tyson will stream live globally, exclusively
on Netflix on Saturday, July 20, 2024 from the 80,000-seat
capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home
of the NFLs Dallas Cowboys.
Jake
Paul vs. Mike Tyson marks Jake Pauls most-anticipated
fight to date and his second fight of 2024 following
back-to-back sensational knockouts against professional
boxers and Golden Glove winners Ryan Bourland this
past Saturday, March 2 and Andre August in December
2023. Paul has shown tremendous growth as a boxer
on his path to becoming a world champion, but now
will take on one of the best and most dangerous boxers
of all time in Mike Tyson.
Its
crazy to think that in my second pro fight, I went
viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tysons
undercard. Now, less than four years later, Im
stepping up to face Tyson myself to see if I have
what it takes to beat one of boxings most notorious
fighters and biggest icons, said Jake Paul.
Within just two and a half years of founding
MVP, were about to produce the biggest fight
in history, a fight in the biggest NFL stadium in
the US, broadcast live, on the biggest streaming platform
in the world a testament to all weve
accomplished in such a short amount of time. Whether
youre tuning in on Netflix or showing out in
person, whether youre team Paul or team Tyson,
or whether youre a lifelong boxing fan or watching
your first fight, youre not going to want to
miss this event. I could not be more excited to make
this amazing fight available to all Netflix subscribers
alongside the hardest hitter of all time, Mike Tyson,
on Saturday, July 20th. My sights are set on becoming
a world champion, and now I have a chance to prove
myself against the greatest heavyweight champion ever,
the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous
boxer of all time. This will be the fight of a lifetime.
Mike
Tyson, the legendary former undisputed world heavyweight
champion, is one of the biggest stars the sport of
boxing has ever seen. The Baddest Man on the
Planet is recognized as one of the greatest
fighters of all time, ESPNs #1 hardest hitter
in heavyweight history, and the youngest heavyweight
champion ever at just 20 years old. His explosive
power and ferocious fighting style led to a staggering
run of 37 consecutive victories, with 33 of those
wins coming by knockout.
I'm
very much looking forward to stepping into the ring
with Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington,
Texas, said Mike Tyson. 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.
Since
establishing MVP in 2021, Nakisa Bidarian and Jake
Paul have disrupted combat sports, producing some
of the worlds biggest events, making history
in womens boxing and giving a new platform to
young fighters. Partnering with Netflix to bring Paul
vs Tyson to audiences worldwide is a strategic decision
