Jake Paul and Mike Tyson draw massive audience in Netflix boxing match

Jake Paul fought Mike Tyson on November 15 in Arlington, Texas, in a highly publicized boxing match streamed on Netflix. The fight featured eight two-minute rounds, but both fighters struggled, with Tyson, 58, showing limited mobility and Paul, 27, adopting a cautious strategy. Despite the lack of traditional boxing skill, the event attracted 70,000 fans and claimed over 120 million viewers, making it potentially the most-watched fight of the 21st century. Paul’s approach to boxing emphasizes entertainment over technique, appealing to a broader audience. After the fight, Paul hinted at future matchups, including a potential bout with Canelo Álvarez, a top boxer. This suggests a shift in boxing dynamics, where celebrity and media presence may take precedence over athletic prowess.
