Netflix to live-stream Mike Tyson vs YouTuber Jake Paul, the 'biggest event of the year'
Netflix will live-stream 'Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson' in South Africa and elsewhere on Saturday, July 20.
Heavyweight boxing legend-of-legends Mike Tyson (57) is set to take on YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul (28) in a match on 20 July at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The event will be live-streamed globally on Netflix.
At 20, Tyson was the youngest heavyweight champion, with an overall record of 50-6, including 44 knockouts.
Paul began his boxing career as a YouTuber and is 9-1 with six KOs. He says he accepts he's up against a 'giant', but that is what he has been training for.
Paul is doing some good, old-fashioned trash-talking before the event, boldly threatening to bite off Mikey's ear.
