Netflix, a global streaming service, has partnered with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), a sports agency and boxing promoter, for a new boxing event that will include a fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
The match will be held on July 20 at Arlington, Texas’s 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium, which will be streamed live on Netflix.
That arena has previously held a number of boxing events, most recently a welterweight world title unification contest between Yordenis Ugas and Errol Spence Jr, which attracted over 40,000 spectators.
In 2021, 73,126 people attended the super-middleweight title unification bout between Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders, breaking the historic indoor boxing audience record.
Notably, it is unclear whether the main event Tyson vs Paul battle will be held as an exhibition or a legitimate professional contest, amid concerns regarding Tyson’s recent health, who will be 58 at the time of the event.
