The upcoming boxing fight between vlogger Jake Paul and former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, which is sponsored by Netflix, has announced its pre-fight event schedule.
This event is promising to revolutionize sports viewing by assembling an elite broadcast team and offering comprehensive coverage for boxing fans in the lead-up to the main event.
The broadcast team includes British sports announcer Kate Scott as the main host, with former world champion Andre Ward as the lead analyst, and Mauro Ranallo, Roy Jones Jr., and Rosie Perez providing live commentary from ringside.
Rule and scoring expert Sean Wheelock, along with reporters Ariel Helwani and Sibley Scoles, will also be present to add to the ceremony's coverage.
When Do The Netflix Events for the Paul vs. Tyson Fight Begin?
The special week for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson match will conclude on Friday, November 15. However, events have already begun on Tuesday, November 12, with all pre-fight activities being free and open to the public. Gates will open daily at 6:00 p.m. ET for in-person fans.
On Tuesday, Jake and Mike appeared at The Pavilion at the Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas, for their training sessions. Fans unable to attend were able to watch the training on Most Valuable Promotions (MVP)'s YouTube channel and Instagram.
A press conference will follow on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. ET at The Pavilion, hosted by sports journalist Ariel Helwani, along with co-hosts Wade Plemons, Amir Tyson, and Tyron Woodley. The event will be streamed live on MVP's and Netflix's YouTube channels.
Besides the Paul vs. Tyson showdown, the event on November 15 will also feature the much-anticipated rematch between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor, available on Netflix's YouTube channels and its streaming platform for subscribers.
What Can Fans Expect from the Paul vs. Tyson Fight?
Despite the 30-year age gap between Jake (27) and Mike (58), fans anticipate an evenly-matched fight. The bout was initially scheduled for July but was postponed after Mike experienced an ulcer outbreak during a flight, prompting a medical recommendation to delay the event.
Months later, both fighters are back after intense training processes. This match is Tyson's first professional fight since his 2005 retirement, following his KO loss to Irishman Kevin McBride. Tyson previously participated in an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in Los Angeles in 2020.
Jake Paul, meanwhile, has built a boxing career alongside his life as a vlogger and influencer, boasting a record of 10 wins and only one loss to England's Tommy Fury in February 2023.
