How to watch Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul in the UK
The highly anticipated fight between boxing legend Mike Tyson and American YouTuber Jake Paul will be streamed live exclusively on Netflix, both here in the UK and around the world. And thankfully if you already have Netflix, there is no extra cost to watch the fight.
Advert
But there are a couple of different Netflix packages to be aware of.
The most budget-friendly option, the £4.99 package has full HD resolution of 1080p but it does include adverts. Two devices in your household can watch at the same time, whether that’s on a mobile phone, tablet, TV or computer.
If you don’t want any ads to interrupt your evening, the Standard plan comes with all the same benefits, minus adverts, for £10.99 a month.
Or, if you want the most premium option, the £17.99 a month package allows you to watch on four devices at the same time and has a 4K (Ultra HD) + HDR resolution.
Alternatively, we've also found a deal which essentially gets you Netflix for free. So, if you don’t already have the streaming subscription, Sky is currently offering Sky Stream, with Sky TV, Sky Full Fibre 300 Broadband and Netflix, all for just £36. And when you take into consideration the fact that their Full Fibre 300 broadband normally costs £29 a month, for just £10 more you’ll also get access to Netflix and Sky TV for not much more.
Whichever way you choose to access Netflix, viewers can tune in to watch Mike Tyson take on Jake Paul on Netflix on Friday November 15.
What to know about the fight
Tyson and Paul are set to face off over eight two-minute rounds, in what will be sanctioned as a professional bout. While Paul’s last fight was earlier this year, when he beat American boxer Ryan Bourland in a first round knock-out, it’s been a number of years since Tyson took to the ring. He did take part in an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020 but it’s been almost 20 years since his last professional fight.
There's also a matter of why the fight was postponed in the first place, with it being due to Tyson's health.
Essentially, Tyson was reported to have became unwell while flying from Miami to Los Angeles earlier this summer. And while it was ultimately blamed on an ulcer flare up, could this still be an issue when the square off in November?
Or perhaps the most telling difference might be the 30 year age difference between 27 year old Paul and 57 year old Tyson.
Paul has only lost one fight in his career, when a split decision victory went in favour of his opponent Tommy Fury. Other than that, he’s won nine fights – of which six were knockouts – during his career.
Tyson, on the other hand, has a record of 50 wins and 6 losses, with 44 of those wins being knock-outs.
Viewers will need to tune in to see who will come out on top this time.
The highly anticipated fight will be taking place at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with millions more watching at home.
There’s also the co-main event, between undisputed super lightweight world champion Katie Taylor and unified featherweight champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano, set to take place too, as they meet again for the second time.
