Netflix is set to offer viewers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
The streaming giant will release a three-part documentary series chronicling the preparations for the November 15 bout.
The first two episodes will premiere on November 3, with the final instalment airing on November 12, just days before the main event.
The series will provide unprecedented access to both fighters’ training regimens and offer insight into the build-up to this blockbuster clash at the Dallas Cowboys AT&T Stadium.
The bout between Paul and Tyson was initially scheduled for earlier this year. However, it was postponed due to Tyson experiencing a medical emergency.
His team attributed the delay to an “ulcer flareup”, necessitating the rescheduling to November 15.

The upcoming fight has already sparked controversy, with UFC star Conor McGregor offering his unfiltered opinion. In September, McGregor said: “Mike Tyson, this is your stock. I don’t give a b******s.”
He added: “They’re wearing 14oz gloves and it’s two-minute rounds. Who gives a b******s? I hope Mike rattles the little dope, no one gives a f about him. How is that even in the f***ing Dallas stadium?”
