ARLINGTON, Texas – MMA Junkie is on the scene and reporting live from Friday’s Netflix boxing event headlined by Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson.
In one of the unlikeliest of matchups, Tyson, a 58-year-old legend of the ring, will return to fight 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-prizefighter Paul in a heavyweight bout scheduled for eight 2-minute rounds. The fight headlines streaming giant Netflix’s first foray into live combat sports at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium.
The Paul vs. Tyson event also features perhaps the biggest women’s fight of the year in the co-main event as Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano square off in a rematch of their 2022 Fight of the Year, which Taylor won by split decision.
The seven-fight lineup begins with prelims at 5:30 p.m. ET, which stream on the Netflix Sports YouTube channel. The main card starts at 8 p.m. ET and streams on Netflix, available to anyone with a Netflix subscription.
