Do you need Netflix subscription to watch Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight? What to know

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are less than a week away from a titanic heavyweight boxing match, with the former world champion and YouTube sensation set for a Friday Nov. 15 fight on Netflix.

The bout had been planned for the summer, but after Tyson experienced an ulcer flare-up in May, the event had to be postponed from a planned July 20 date. On "Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson," a Netflix documentary following the build-up for both fighters, "Iron Mike" recently detailed exactly how bad that medical issue was, saying he "threw up blood" and lost 26 pounds before he completely recovered.

However, by the end of July, Tyson got the all-clear, and the two combatants agreed to a new fight date at the same venue: AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys.
