It’s not Neflix and chill. Nah, it’s Netflix and thrill as the streamers weigh in on the boxing game with a knockout entrance for the ages.
Love it or hate it, Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will finally face off in the wee small hours after months of heated exchanges and bamboozling build up. The peak of which was an angered Tyson slapping the mega influencer across the face in their final face-off. Not that it was hard according to Paul, who said his mum smacks harder.
The Baddest Man on the Planet is all set to step through the ropes and onto centre stage as a professional for the first time in 19 years. Despite being 58 years old - and fighting someone nearly three decades his junior - he's still on the hunt for a knockout.
Social media star Paul made the switch from YouTube to boxing in 2020, and over the last four years has honed his skills in the ring and now has a near-perfect record of 10-1 by beating UFC stars like Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, Tyron Woodley and Mike Perry. His one defeat came against pro boxer and Love Island star, Tommy Fury.
Tonight, both fighters will step into the ring in front of 80,000 spectators at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The match will be broadcast globally via Netflix. But, given the lengthy undercard bouts, when does big fight actually start in the UK? Here's all you need to know....
What is the UK start time for Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul?
Tyson and Paul are expected to enter the ring at around 4am UK time on Saturday morning - approximately 10pm local time in Arlington on Friday. The main card is set to commence at about 1am UK time/7pm local time. It will feature Katie Taylor defending her IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO women's super-lightweight titles against Amanda Serrano.
The glittering line-up also includes Mario Barrios, who will defend his WBC welterweight title against Abel Ramos, while Neeraj Goyat faces off with Whindersson Nunes in the super-middleweight category. The preliminary card includes bouts between Shadasia Green and Melinda Watpool, Lucas Bahdi and Armando Casamonica, and Bruce Carrington and Dana Coolwell. It's worth noting that the timing of the main event could vary depending on the duration of the undercard bouts.
