One of the biggest – but most divisive – fights in years will play out this week when Mike Tyson boxes Jake Paul.

The Americans will meet at the Dallas Cowboy’s Stadium in Texas, and live on Netflix in a new move for the streaming platform.

The fight has proven controversial due to Tyson’s age and absence from the ring; “Iron Mike” is considered a true heavyweight great, but the 58-year-old hasn’t fought professionally in 19 years. Meanwhile, Paul is far less experienced, but at 27 he has youth on his side, and while some may mock his abilities, he has knocked out countless fighters and gone 10-1 as a pro.

Although the fight has proven controversial, the undercard will feature a coveted rematch as Katie Taylor takes on Amanda Serrano in the co-main event. The pair first met in 2022, in the biggest women’s fight ever, with Taylor winning a close decision.

Now they’re off again, with big gold up for grabs again. Here’s everything you need to know about the Paul vs Tyson undercard.
