Jake (27), who started his boxing career in 2018,recently foughtone-time heavyweight championMike Tyson(58) onNetflixin November 2024. And while most people have probably seen better fights in a Waffle House parking lot, the event was one of the most streamed sporting events in history, watched – according to Netflix – by 108 million people around the globe. So it feels safe to assume that this fight will also garner its fair share of viewers, too.
Mike Tyson Docuseries Set at Netflix Following Massive Success of Jake Paul Fight
Netflix is getting back in the ring with Tyson.
Jake Paul andNakisa BidarianfoundedMost Valuable Promotions (MVP)in 2021, which promoted the fight between Jake and Tyson. Following the fight, many critics and people with eyes lambasted the bout for looking staged due to lackluster fighting and seemingly pulled punches. Bidarianreleased a statementfrom MVP about those allegations and criticism of Paul’s performance, saying:
“This is not the first time Jake Paul has faced unfounded skepticism or outright disbelief as a professional athlete, and frankly, the claim that his bout must have been rigged is just the latest backhanded compliment to come his way. As long as Jake continues to exceed expectations, there will always be those who attempt to discredit his achievements. We embrace the doubt — it only fuels Jake to work harder and achieve greater success.”
The Mid-ness of Current Distractions
Not much is known about the fight between the Paul brothers, other than the image Jake Paul dropped teasing the date. Will both brothers be on more in-gear than a 2-cassette bike? That’s for the boxing commission’s anti-doping protocols to find out. Until the fight we’ll all forget about days, if not hours after it happens,Yellowjacketsis coming back toParamount+ with Showtimeon August 08, 2025, and will likely pack a more potent punch. After all, few things are scarier than a pack of feral teen girls — and the Paul brothers probably know a thing or two about that, too.
Jake and Logan Paul are set to fight one another live on March 27th on Max.
