How to watch Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul on TV and live stream
The much-anticipated fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, along with the other three main card bouts, will be broadcast live on Netflix tonight. This marks the streaming giant’s first foray into live combat sports.
Existing subscribers can tune in at no additional cost, while new members can join from just £4.99 a month. The initial three fights of the evening on the prelim card will be streamed live on Most Valuable Promotions’ YouTube, Netflix Sports YouTube, and Tudum.
The full fight card, undercard and UK start times are as follows:
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson – 4am
Tonight, fans will finally see if Mike Tyson still has what it takes. The 58 year old has the chance to re-establish himself as a credible fighter or risk embarrassment in front of tens of thousands of spectators at the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium.
Jake Paul has vowed to defeat the legend, but it remains uncertain whether he can deliver a knockout blow to Iron Mike.
Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano – 3am.
This rematch has been two years in the making, with Amanda Serrano seeking to avenge her split-decision loss to Katie Taylor in their first encounter. Although Taylor has faced tougher opponents since then, her bouts with Chantelle Cameron may have taken their toll, potentially giving the fresher Serrano an edge.
Mario Barrios vs Abel Ramos – 2am.
Mario Barrios is determined to retain his welterweight world title as he faces Abel Ramos tonight. Interestingly, Barrios didn’t win his belt in the ring but was upgraded when Terence Crawford was ‘promoted’ to champion in recess while he considers his next move. Ramos, having lost three of his last five fights, will need to up his game to unseat the champion.
In another match, Neeraj Goyat vs Whindersson Nunes is set for 1am. This unusual fight sees professional boxer Neeraj Goyat aiming to put social media star Whindersson Nunes in his place. Nunes, who has previously fought on the influencer boxing circuit, will need to demonstrate an unprecedented level of skill to defeat Goyat, who has been linked with a fight against Amir Khan and has fought 24 times.
Shadasia Green vs Melinda Watpool is scheduled for 12am. Shadasia Green, part of Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions stable, has been given a second world title shot in her last three fights. She came up short last year against Franchon Crews Dezurn but bounced back with a victory over Natasha Spence, who was also defeated by Melinda Watpool in her last match.
Finally, Lucas Bahdi vs Armando Casamonica is set for 11.15pm.
Lucas Bahdi has stormed into the spotlight with a powerhouse knockout of Ashton Sylve, the protégé of Jake Paul, solidifying his spotless record at 17-0. Up next, Bahdi will clash with another undefeated fighter, Armando Casamonica, who triumphed in all of his 14 pro bouts.
Casamonica’s stepping up on short notice, taking over for the sidelined Corey Marksman.
Tonight, featherweight sensation Bruce Carrington is set to kick off proceedings in the boxing ring, aiming to justify the buzz around him. Sporting a flawless 13-0 record, Carrington is expected to overwhelm Dana Coolwell, who holds an impressive record himself, only falling short twice in 17 fights.
What have Paul and Tyson said?
Jake Paul: “I’m blessed to be in the position I am, to be highly criticised. That just means I’m doing something right. No one has had a boxing career like mine. It’ll be studied and judged, but I’ve risen to the top in four years because I’ve taken risks. I was the underdog all the way up until Nate Robinson and that’s something that people don’t remember [and] don’t give any credit to, but I put it on the line against some of the best in the sport every single time. That’s why I’m here on Netflix against the biggest name in boxing right now.”
Mike Tyson: “I’m just ready to fight. I’ve said everything I had to say. There’s nothing else to say. I’m just looking forward to fighting. I’m not going to lose.”
