Mike Tyson to face Jake Paul in live boxing match on Netflix

Mike Tyson will fight Jake Paul in a live boxing match on Netflix, marking the platform's first professional sports livestream. The event is set for Friday, following Netflix's recent investments in live sports, including deals with WWE and the NFL. Tyson, a 58-year-old Hall of Famer, is coming out of retirement to face 27-year-old Paul, who has been boxing professionally for four years. The fight was arranged after Paul secured a deal with Netflix and chose Tyson as his opponent. The match was originally scheduled for July but was postponed to November due to Tyson's health issues. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has sanctioned the fight, which will also feature undercard matches and a co-main event with champion boxers Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.
