The highly anticipated Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions heavyweight boxing mega-event, a unique showdown featuring the legendary Mike Tyson taking on the unconventional YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium on Nov. 15, is set to move forward and is now just over a month away.
Netflix has announced an exclusive docuseries titled ‘ Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson, ‘ a behind-the-scenes journey that will be available for streaming on Nov. 7. The series will provide unique insight into the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson’s road to return to the boxing ring, following a medical emergency that postponed the original fight. This will be Tyson’s first fight since his exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, which ended in an unofficial split draw.
Meanwhile, Paul added another win to his record into the lead up to the Tyson bout by defeating bare-knuckle boxer and former mixed martial artist Mike Perry in a six-round TKO in July. The docuseries will also cover Paul’s preparation for his fight against the “Baddest Man on the Planet.”
