Here's when people in South Africa will be able to see Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul, a super controversial boxing bout.
South Africans will be able to watch the fight Saturday morning at 3:00 only on the streaming platform.The time is finally upon us to watch the boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, likely one of the biggest value exhibition matches in the history of boxing. We’ll find out after that fact how much money the fight made, but since it is streaming on Netflix the raw PPV numbers won’t be anywhere close to Mayweather/McGregor or Mayweather/Pacquiao.
It will likely be the first thing that Netflix offers you when you boot the app up at that time, to make it easy for viewers to find.More for the entertainment factor than an athletic showcase or for a professional ranking, Tyson, who retired in 2005 will take on a man 31 years his junior in Paul. Paul has a record of 10-1 with his latest fight ending in a sixth-round TKO against Mike Perry in July this year. He began his career as a Disney channel personality and YouTuber.
Tyson’s greatest accolade is a 3-year-long reign as the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990, while Paul has never held a professional title in his 11-year boxing career. Tyson is also the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history when he beat Trevor Berbick at just 20 years old.
