Netflix has debuted a trailer for the heavyweight fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, and fittingly it opens with an overhead shot of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The boxing match, scheduled for Nov. 15, will take place on a massive stage. Not only inside the Dallas Cowboys stadium, but on Netflix’s global platform of more than 270 million subscribers.
As they are expected to do in the boxing ring in less than five weeks, the 58-year-old Tyson and the 27-year-old Paul square off in the trailer that was released Tuesday.

But first, there’s footage of Paul’s first-round knockout of Andre August in December and of his stopping Mike Perry with a TKO and proclaiming, ‘I’m the face of this sport.’
Then, the other face, the one with the famous tattoo – Tyson’s.
There’s footage of Tyson’s famous knockout of Michael Spinks, 91 seconds into their fight in 1988, and a knockout of Carl ‘The Truth’ Williams three years later.
‘I’m the best fighter in the world,’ Tyson exclaims.
Tyson, who will be fighting professionally for the first time since 2005, is 50-6 with 44 knockouts.
Paul, who will be fighting for the 12th time since embarking on his pro boxing career in January 2020, is 10-1 with seven knockouts.
‘What happens next,’ says a narrator on the trailer, ‘only one way to know.’
