Netflix users warned over issue that may prevent you from watching Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight this weekend

Netflix subscribers have been warned over a small issue which may prevent them from watching the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight this weekend.

We are now mere days away from the biggest fight of the year taking place, when YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake 'The Problem Child' Paul steps in front of an 80,000 strong crowd at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas to fight the legendary 'Iron Mike'.

The fight has faced several setbacks in order to get over the line, with a health scare from 58-year-old Tyson pushing it back a number of months - however, we're finally here.

So, here is everything you need to know ahead of watching the fight from the comfort of your own sofa.

How do I watch the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight?

The main event will take place at around 10pm in Texas on Friday (15 November), which means that UK viewers will need to stay up until 4am on Saturday (16 November) if they want to catch the fight live.

Do I need to pay extra to watch Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson?

One of the main questions fans have been asking in the lead-up to the bout is whether or not you'll need to pay extra.

The fight is broadcasting exclusively on streaming platform Netflix and anyone who already has a subscription will be available to watch free of charge. That's right, the fight was no PPV charge and will even be available to people who have the £4.99-a-month ads-supported subscription.

Which is no doubt music to many of your ears.

However, there are some important things to be aware of before Friday night/Saturday morning rolls around.

If you're planning to be kind and share your subscription with others, be aware that only up to two people will be able to watch from a standard £10.99-a-month subscription.

However, anyone who pays for the more expensive £17.99-a-month premium subscription will be able to share their login with as many as four users, including the option to add two members from a different household (a feature long gone for many Netflix users) and see the pair pummel each other in crystal clear Ultra HD quality.

If that's the sort of thing you're into.

Do I need a TV Licence to watch Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson?

Viewers who exclusively consume their content through streaming platforms should also be aware that the rules are slightly different when it comes to broadcasting live TV.

While you don't need a TV licence to stream shows, you do need to pay for one if you're watching live shows - with the penalty for being caught out a grim £1,000.
