One of the most anticipated boxing events of 2024 is quickly approaching, as former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and YouTube star-turned-fighter Jake Paul prepare to face off in a thrilling matchup that will be streamed live on Netflix.
The Tyson vs. Paul showdown will headline an exciting fight card, brought to fans by Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions, with the epic event set to take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the home of the Dallas Cowboys. The stadium, which can hold up to 80,000 spectators, is no stranger to high-profile bouts, including fights featuring legends like Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Álvarez.
The fight was originally scheduled for July 15, but Tyson had to pause his training earlier this year due to a flare-up of an ulcer.
