Netflix Inc. will livestream a boxing match between former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned-boxing star Jake Paul, as the home entertainment giant delves deeper into live sports programming.
The fight will take place on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, the company announced Thursday. Netflix will be teaming up on the event with Most Valuable Promotions, a company founded by Paul and Nakisa Bidarian in 2021 that specializes in pay-per-view fights.
