The biggest combat sports spectacle of 2024 is inbound. “Iron” Mike Tyson boxes professionally for the first time in nearly two decades against Jake Paul, a controversial boxer with a massive youth edge.
Paul vs. Tyson should draw more eyes than any combat sports event this year. This is a credit to the headliners’ wide reach, but most importantly, the fight will stream to Netflix’s reported 282 million subscribers at no extra cost. It’s a puzzling fight that raises the question: how competitive will Tyson, 58, be against an athletic opponent 31 years his junior?
“Yeah, it’s cute. I fear no man. So I want him to be that old savage Mike,” Paul said. “He says he’s going to kill me. I’m ready. I want that killer. I want the hardest match possible Friday night, and I want there to be no excuses from everyone at home when I knock him out.”
Things got heated at the ceremonial weigh ins on Thursday when after stepping off the scale and preparing for the final faceoff, Tyson slapped Paul square across the face before the two were separated. An enraged Tyson stormed off the stage as Paul continued to troll the living legend.
The action gets underway on Netflix at 8 p.m. ET. The full fight card with odds and complete viewing information is listed below.
