Mike “Iron Mike” Tyson and Jake Paul finally get into the ring on Friday after months of anticipation — and a big delay — for one of the biggest boxing events of the year. The 58-year-old former heavyweight champion will take on the 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer in a controversial, yet anticipated fight. (And yes, it’s sanctioned, so it counts on their records.)
Everything about this match is a bit unusual, to say the least, so perhaps its no surprise that it isn’t airing in the format boxing fans are used to either. No pay-per-view needed — this fight is headed straight to streaming. Here’s everything you need to know to watch live.
