The fight was the main event of a card also featuring the rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano for the undisputed super lightweight championship. This marked one of the most significant boxing events of recent times, with Netflix streaming it exclusively worldwide. The event drew attention for its generational clash, with Tyson aiming to showcase his enduring skills and Paul seeking to cement his place in the sport.

The fight highlighted contrasting boxing legacies: Tyson’s storied dominance in heavyweight boxing during the 1980s and 1990s versus Paul’s rise in the modern era of influencer boxing. The event also underscored the entertainment-driven evolution of boxing promotions and Netflix foray into sports and entertainment including WWE.

Tyson turned professional in the sport of boxing 1985 at age 18. Known for his incredible speed, power, and defensive skills, he quickly rose to prominence. In 1986, Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at age 20 by defeating Trevor Berbick to claim the WBC title. By 1987, he was the undisputed heavyweight champion, holding the WBA, WBC, and IBF titles.

He remained dominant until a shocking 1990 loss to underdog Buster Douglas in one of the biggest upsets in sports history. Tyson’s career faced further setbacks due to personal and legal issues.
