The highly anticipated fight between 58-year-old “Iron” Mike Tyson and 27-year-old Jake “The Problem Child” Paul is less than 10 days away. Fans are eagerly awaiting the fight between one of the greatest boxers of all time and a former YouTuber looking to expand his reputation in the ring. It’s been a while since such intrigue preceded a boxing match. However, many fans are still unsure how to watch the event.

The fight will be streamed exclusively on Netflix, but is a Netflix account really required to watch the fight? Here’s everything you need to know about how and where to watch the fight.

Do you need a Netflix subscription for Tyson-Paul?

Nope.
