A great event that will also mark one of the rare live broadcasts on Netflix, the platform being increasingly interested in this kind of initiative. The 8-round professional match (2 minutes each) will be held at the AT&T Stadium (capacity 80,000 seats) in Arlington, Texas.
Why fight sports legend and former World Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson, (6 losses and 50 wins including 44 by KO)? Jake Paul (1 loss, 9 wins including 6 by KO) modestly answers: "To make history. That's all that matters to me. I'm a kid from Ohio. They'll never give me credit. That's just the way it is. If I walked on water, they'd say it's because I can't swim. And that's to make history."
