Paul, a Cleveland native, was overjoyed to make the revelation and disclosed that he hoped to bring several well-known celebrities and athletes to the event, including his brother Jake Paul, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and Kelce’s brother, former NFL star Jason Kelce. Paul also remarked that he wants an opponent with whom he could tear the house down, joking that he could face NBA legend James or even controversial comic Dave Chappelle.
Meanwhile, crossover boxing bouts are becoming increasingly popular, and former heavyweight world champion Tyson will return to the ring against fighter-turned-YouTuber Jake Paul.
AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, boasts 80,000 seats, and the two are slated to face battle on July 20th. For the first time, a live broadcast of a combat sports event will be available on Netflix during the fight.
Netflix has ventured into sports in recent years, most notably with the hit F1 documentary series Drive to Survive.
