Some fans trying to watch the build up to tonight’s huge bout between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have been left furious at streaming issues when trying to get the coverage up.
The face-off between Paul and Tyson has been eight months in the making, with boxing fans eager to see who will come out on top.
It is already the biggest boxing event in the US outside of Las Vegas, being held at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, USA, the NFL’s Dallas Cowboy’s home ground in front of 70,000 people, and millions on Netflix.
Fans have already been given a jump-scare as footage from Tyson’s locker room revealed that his bare a** was out.
The undercard began at 1am GMT this morning, with things spicing up in the days prior, as Tyson slapped Paul at the weigh-in on 14 November.
Paul and Tyson are set to conduct their ring walks at around 11pm local time (5am GMT) tonight.
However, some fans have had problems getting the fight up on Netflix at all, getting some error messages as the stream has not started for them yet.
One shared on social media: “They really gaslighting us now,” with a photo of their error message.
Another said: “The most exciting part is wondering if it will ever load”
A third commented: “Every 30 seconds…. ridiculous”
A different user wrote: “It’s getting worse. And it’s time for the fight now darn.”
It is unclear if the problem has been solved as the main fight approaches.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson rules explained
The bout between Paul, 27, and Tyson, 58, has been sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which makes this a professional fight, as the result will go on the fighter’s respective records.
However, it will not adhere to the rules of a standard heavyweight bout, with gloves being heavier at 14 ounces instead of 10. This means the punches will not land as hard due to the extra padding, as well as protecting each boxer’s hands more than at 10-ounce gloves.
The rounds will also last two minutes instead of the standard three, and instead of 12 rounds, there will only be eight.
