The biggest combat sports spectacle of 2024 is inbound. "Iron" Mike Tyson boxes professionally for the first time in nearly two decades against Jake Paul, a controversial boxer with a massive youth edge.
Paul vs. Tyson should draw more eyes than any combat sports event this year. This is a credit to the headliners' wide reach, but most importantly, the fight will stream to Netflix's reported 282 million subscribers at no extra cost. It's a puzzling fight that raises the question: how competitive will Tyson, 58, be against an athletic opponent 31 years his junior?
"Well, the people speak for themselves. I don't even have to ask them. [This is the] biggest live gate in US boxing history outside of Las Vegas. Numbers don't lie," Paul said at the final press conference. "People want to see this and that's an amazing accomplishment. Credit to Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano and Mike and everyone on the card as well. [...] We all did this together, and this is a statement that we had the biggest live gate outside of Vegas in US boxing history."
CBS Sports will also have live coverage of the fight with round-by-round scoring and blow-by-blow updates to keep you up to date throughout the night.
The undercard also features some tremendous action for hardcore boxing fans. A rematch of arguably the best women's fight in the modern era is set for the co-main event when Katie Taylor looks to defend her undisputed junior welterweight title against Amanda Serrano. The pair were the first women's fight to main event at Madison Square Garden in 2022 when Taylor earned a split decision to retain the undisputed lightweight titles. After moving up in weight, Taylor claimed the undisputed crown once more.
"The greatest part about this journey is just being able to inspire and impact the next generation of female fighters. When I started boxing as a nine or ten years old, there [were] no female fighters at all in the boxing gyms in Ireland," Taylor said at the final press conference this week. "But every single boxing gym I walk into now is packed with female fighters… that's what legacy is all about, really. I think what me and Amanda have done over these last few years, inspiring that generation of young fighters, is the best thing we could leave behind in this sport. An absolute privilege."
The action gets underway on Netflix at 8 p.m. ET. The full fight card with odds and complete viewing information is listed below.
