Mike Tyson Just Announced His Departure Due
On July 20, a worldwide live sports event featuring Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson will be exclusively streamed on Netflix thanks to a partnership between Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix.
Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) and Netflix today announced their first-ever collaboration in a heavyweight boxing mega-event featuring Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) vs. The Problem Child, Jake “El Gallo” Paul (9-1, 6 KOs). On Saturday, July 20, 2024, Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson will be streamed live worldwide exclusively on Netflix from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, which has 80,000 seats.
The highly awaited fight of the year, Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, is Paul’s second fight of 2024 after two spectacular knockout victories against professional boxers and Golden Glove winners, Ryan Bourland on Saturday, March 2, and Andre August in December 2023. In his journey to become a world champion, Paul has demonstrated remarkable progress as a boxer. However, he now faces Mike Tyson, one of the greatest and most lethal fighters of all time.
It’s unbelievable to imagine that I became well-known by taking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson’s undercard during my second professional bout. Less than four years later, I’m going up against Tyson to see if I have what it takes to defeat one of the biggest iconic and most infamous fighters in boxing,” stated Jake Paul. “We’re going to stage the biggest fight in history, a live broadcast in the largest NFL stadium in the US on the largest streaming platform globally, after only 2.5 years of launching MVP. This is a credit to all we’ve accomplished in such a short amount of time.” You won’t want to miss this event whether you’re watching your first-ever fight or binge-watching it on Netflix, either team Paul or team Tyson, or a die-hard boxing enthusiast. I am thrilled to announce that on Saturday, July 20, all Netflix subscribers will be able to watch this incredible battle alongside the greatest boxer of all time, Mike Tyson. I want to be a world champion, and now I have the opportunity to prove it by taking on the greatest heavyweight champion in history, the most dangerous boxer ever, and the baddest man on the globe. This battle will last a lifetime.
One of the biggest stars in boxing history is Mike Tyson, the renowned former undisputed world heavyweight champion. At just 20 years old, the “Baddest Man on the Planet” is regarded as the youngest heavyweight champion in history, one of the greatest fighters of all time, and ESPN’s #1 hardest hitter in heavyweight history. His fierce fighting style and explosive strength propelled him to an incredible 37-fight winning streak, 33 of which came via knockout.
Mike Tyson declared, “I am really excited to get into the ring with Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.” It will be exciting to watch what the desire and aspirations of a “child” combined with the expertise and skill of a GOAT can accomplish, since he has developed tremendously as a boxer over the years. It will be quite exciting to witness as it represents a full circle: I began his boxing career on the undercard of my bout with Roy Jones, and now I intend to put an end to him.
Since founding MVP in 2021, Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul have revolutionized combat sports, putting on some of the greatest events in history, changing the face of women’s boxing, and providing up-and-coming athletes with a new platform. In order to guarantee that this once-in-a-lifetime event—which unites six generations of sports enthusiasts—is released globally to hundreds of millions of fans, Netflix and Paul are partnering to offer Paul vs. Tyson to viewers worldwide.Most Valuable Promotions founder Nakisa Bidarian stated, “Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is a once-in-a-lifetime dream fight and we think it will be the most-watched boxing event in contemporary boxing history.” The potential to showcase Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson to a global audience on a never-before-seen scale is unmatched by our partnership with Netflix, and we are eager to present this amazing matchup between two of the biggest names in sports. Fans of boxing for six generations will be watching an anti-hero, Jake Paul, risk everything to take on the world’s toughest man, Mike Tyson, and will be invested in the result.

With successes like Untold—which aired an episode including “Jake Paul the Problem Child” last year—as well as Formula 1: Drive To Survive, Full Swing, NASCAR: Full Speed, Quarterback, and Tour de France: Unchained, Netflix is the best place to get amazing sports entertainment. The United States Women’s World Cup team and Six Nations: Full Contact are under pressure. Additionally, WWE Raw will relocate to Netflix starting in 2025. After The Netflix Cup and The Netflix Slam, Paul vs. Tyson will be Netflix’s third live sporting event.
According to Gabe Spitzer, Vice President of Nonfiction Sports at Netflix, “Jake Paul is one of the biggest disruptors in boxing history, and Mike Tyson is one of the biggest idols.” “There will be nothing but drama in the Texas ring on Saturday, July 20. We are excited to collaborate with Most Valuable Promotions on this momentous occasion, and we can’t wait for Netflix to host this matchup between these two for fans everywhere.”
