Is Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul free to watch if I have a Netflix subscription or do I have to buy a pay-per-view?

ONE of the biggest fights in boxing takes place TONIGHT as Jake Paul and Mike Tyson finally meet on Netflix.

Boxing purists may not be tuning in but the two fighters have been trading verbal jabs for months – and physical slaps at the weigh-in – and it’s finally time to lace up the gloves for one of the most highly-anticipated clashes of the year.

Tyson, 58, was originally scheduled to fight Paul, 27, in the summer but the fight was postponed due to his health issues.

Paul dispatched Tyson’s replacement, former UFC star Mike Perry, in six rounds.

But the world is now ready to watch as Tyson returns to the ring for the first time in four years, having been retired for 15 years before that.

His last fight was a draw with Roy Jones Jr in 2020 that drew huge interest across the world.

Is the fight on standard Netflix subscription or do you have to buy a pay-per-view?

The question a lot of fans have been asking.

Paul vs Tyson on your standard Netflix sub seems too good to be true – but the fight IS available on any subscription at NO EXTRA COST.

Both of those options allow you to watch the action in Full HD.

There is a premium subscription which costs £17.99-a-month ($22.99), however.

And that allows users to watch on four devices at the same time, the option to add two members of a different household AND the ability to watch in Ultra HD quality.
