    Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will trade punches on Friday night.

    Here’s everything you need to know about the first-ever Netflix boxing event.

    What time is the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight?

    The fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is the main event of a seven-fight card.

    The Netflix broadcast begins at 8 p.m., but the actual Tyson-Paul fight time has not yet been announced. Their fight is the last of the night.

    According to ESPN, the Paul-Tyson undercard features three title fights: Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano for Taylor’s undisputed women’s junior welterweight championship; Mario Barrios vs. Abel Ramos for Barrios’ WBC welterweight title; and Shadasia Green vs. Melinda Watpool for the vacant WBO women’s super middleweight title.

    Is the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight pay-per-view?

    The fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will be broadcast exclusively on Netflix.

    Netflix will broadcast the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson live on its streaming platform on Friday, November 15. It is not a pay-per-view event, but only Netflix subscribers can watch.

    Is the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight real?

    The fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and is a real fight.

    But ESPN notes that the rules for the fight will be a little different than what boxing fans may be used to.

    Both Paul and Tyson will wear 14-ounce gloves instead of the traditional 10-ounce gloves; rounds last two minutes instead of the usual three-minute rounds; and the fight will last eight rounds, not the usual 10 or 12.

    Who is Jake Paul?

    Jake Paul, 27, is a social media personality, professional boxer and entrepreneur who first rose to fame through the now-defunct Vine platform before expanding to YouTube and then transitioning into a boxing career.

    Since his boxing debut in 2018, Paul has fought other social media influencers, retired athletes and professional fighters, generating both criticism and admiration for his self-made career in the sport.

    As a pro, Paul has gone 10-1 with seven knockouts against opponents including a YouTuber, a retired NBA player and four MMA fighters. All but one opponent was making their professional boxing debut.

    How old is Mike Tyson?

    At 58, Mike Tyson is more than twice the age of Jake Paul, and with a 50-6 record, he has more than quintuple of fights compared to Jake Paul’s 11 professional fights.

    In addition to a career that includes 50 victories, Tyson, who defeated Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, recorded fought in an exhibition, also 44 knockouts.

    However, Tyson is struggling with back-to-back knockout losses.

    Tyson was knocked out in the fourth round by Danny Williams in 2004 and then suffered a TKO loss to Kevin McBride in 2005.
