According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/boxing\/2024\/11\/15\/jake-paul-mike-tyson-netflix-time-how-to-watch-fight-card\/76268137007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">USA Today<\/a>, the match is slated to take place in Arlington, Texas, and will consist of &ldquo;eight, two-minute rounds rather than the standard 10-12 rounds at three minutes each.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-cf9cf0c32f1905f63afe5fcb9a196e5f fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-cf9cf0c32f1905f63afe5fcb9a196e5f\"><\/div>\n<p>The fight will exclusively stream on Netflix. <\/p>\n<p>Fans haven&rsquo;t had to wait long for things to get scrappy between the two contenders. Tyson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2024\/11\/14\/mike-tyson-slaps-jake-paul-during-staredown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">slapped<\/a> Paul at the end of Thursday&rsquo;s weigh-in, giving viewers a preview of what to expect during Friday&rsquo;s face off. <\/p>\n<p>The outcome of the fight will undoubtedly provoke media-wide discussions about &ldquo;youth vs. experience.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>Tyson enjoys an extensive career spanning several decades, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/jake-paul-vs-mike-tyson-what-know-about-long-awaited-boxing-match\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complete<\/a> with 50 wins and 44 knockouts.

After all, what better way to relax after a grueling 2024 campaign season than to flip on the TV and watch a former YouTuber fight a man old enough to order off iHop&rsquo;s senior menu?<\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s no telling what Friday&rsquo;s fight will bring.<\/p>\n<p>Will someone take a dive? Will the referee rig the match? Will Tyson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/this-day-in-history\/mike-tyson-bites-ear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bite off<\/a> one of Paul&rsquo;s ears like he did in his 1997 match against Evander Holyfield?<\/p>\n<p>The range of possibilities are seemingly endless.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-fac9e29fe8261d7d3667bceced084637 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-fac9e29fe8261d7d3667bceced084637\"><\/div>\n<p>To be certain, conservatives still have a lot of work ahead of them in the coming years. Ensuring the incoming Trump administration, GOP-controlled Congress, and other elected Republicans fulfill the wishes of their voters is paramount to putting the country back on the right track. It&rsquo;s a task that will require an immense level of citizen activism, which the American right has largely failed to undertake in recent decades. <\/p>\n<p>But for this Friday, tap out of politics for a bit. Order your favorite food, get some friends together, and enjoy each other&rsquo;s company while watching two grown men beat the daylights out of one another. It doesn&rsquo;t get much more American than that. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-69daea392e1dbd7c344bdacef71f98b6 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-69daea392e1dbd7c344bdacef71f98b6\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Shawn Fleetwood is a staff writer for The Federalist and a graduate of the University of Mary Washington.
