On November 3, 2023, it was reported that Netflix was considering streaming a boxing match involving Jake Paul.[6]

On March 7, 2024, Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions announced that they were partnering to host an event headlined by Paul facing former undisputed heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.[3] The event will be streamed globally exclusively on Netflix.[7]

On the April 2, Tyson confirmed at that time the fight was to be classified as an exhibition bout and was not set to be recorded on their professional records.[8] In response to rumors of 18-ounce (510 g) gloves and headgear, Tyson said in an interview, "not true at all", and clarified: "This is called an exhibition, but if you look up exhibition, you will not see any of the laws that we're fighting under. This is a fight."[9] On April 10, Paul confirmed that they will be submitting a request to the Texas Combative Sports Program for the bout to be sanctioned as a professional bout.[10]

On April 16, Netflix confirmed that the long awaited rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano for the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring lightweight titles would be the co-feature bout.[11]

On April 29, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations confirmed it approved the fighters' request, and the bout will be a sanctioned, professional fight.[12] The bout will consist of 8 2-minute rounds with 14-ounce (400 g) gloves.[13]

The undercard is scheduled to see a world title bout between WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios and Abel Ramos.[14]

On November 7, 2024, Netflix premiered the first two episodes of Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson, with the third and final one following on November 12. The show is narrated by Ice-T.[15]
