The first trailer for Mike Tyson’s huge boxing bout with YouTube sensation Jake Paul has officially been released by Netflix.
The former world heavyweight champion was supposed to meet Paul in an eight-round sanctioned professional fight back in July but was delayed after Tyson suffered a medical scare on a flight to Miami from Los Angeles.
The two will now meet on Friday November 15, 2024 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas – the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.
Streaming giants Netflix will broadcast the event live on a night where Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano meet again as part of a packed undercard.
Netflix have also announced the ‘Countdown: Paul vs Tyson’, which is a three-part documentary series with intimate access to the fighters. Episodes 1 and 2 will be released on November 7, with the final episode to premiere on November 12.
