Jake Paul (10-1), whose resume includes YouTube celebrity, marketer and prizefighter, will face former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson (50-6) in a sanctioned eight-round bout. It is a marketing event for the ages as Paul is the young newcomer, who started fighting professionally in January 2020 and built his record against former UFC fighters and fellow YouTubers.

Tyson’s legacy is established, but he is also 58 years old, so a win is far from assured. Paul also has a longer reach and is four inches taller than Tyson.

The fight will be a little different than a typical heavyweight fight. Rounds last just two minutes instead of the traditional three. And both fighters will wear 14-ounce gloves instead of the traditional 10-ounce gloves.

This is expected to be the largest live event in the history of live streaming for host network Netflix. Here’s everything you need to know about how to capture the action.

When will Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight?

Paul and Tyson meet on Friday, November 15.

What time does the Tyson vs. Paul fight start?

The card will go live at 8:00 PM ET. However, there is an undercard with six additional fights (only three of which will air on Netflix), so there’s no telling exactly when Paul and Tyson will enter the ring.

Why is this battle happening?

Publicity and money. Paul is an expert at getting the media’s attention, so challenging someone with a reputation like Tyson is an easy way to steal the limelight. Celebrity boxing has also become more popular over the past twenty years, guaranteeing an audience. Plus, there’s a $40 million purse up for grabs, which is attractive for both boxers. “I’m here to make $40 million and take out a legend,” Paul said at a press conference in August.

For Tyson, it’s a chance to cement his legacy at an age when most boxers are long past their prime.
