by · Manchester Evening News

Jake Paul's against Mike Tyson will go down as one of the most watched boxing clashes in history.

The AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas will take centre-stage on Friday November 15 with the main event and the undercard rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano being aired worldwide on Netflix.

The streaming giants have announced a sensational team fronting their coverage with British sports broadcaster Kate Scott (formerly Abdo) the host. She will be joined by two-time world champion Andre Ward with Mauro Ranallo leading the commentary.

'Iron' Mike's former rival Roy Jones Jr will also feature providing ringside analysis throughout the highly anticipated main event. The pair famously fought each other last in an exhibition match back in 2020.

The bout between the YouTuber turned fighter and former World Heavyweight Champion 'Iron Mike' was originally scheduled to take place in July but was postponed until November due to an injury suffered by the latter.

Tyson is 31 years older than his opponent Paul and will be stepping into the ring in his first professional match in nearly two decades. Many see the clash as controversial and purely a money maker, but it's still attracting fans either way.

Presenter Kate is best known for anchoring CBS Sports' Champions League football coverage to American audiences. She's regularly joined by ex-Premier League stars Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards with clips from the show often going viral across social media.

The Mancunian has previously hosted Fox Sports' flagship Premier Boxing Champions show though, and as a familiar face to both US and UK viewers she's the perfect choice for Paul vs Tyson. Coverage of the main card will begin on Netflix at 1am UK time and will not be PPV.
