Jake Paul Boxing Event May Leave Netflix for DAZN

Jake Paul is scheduled to headline a boxing event in Dubai on December 24, 2026, announced by Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). The opponent and streaming platform are yet to be confirmed. According to the New York Post, Netflix is not expected to carry the event, with DAZN pay-per-view reportedly the leading alternative. This follows Paul's previous fights on Netflix, including the Mike Tyson bout in November 2024 and the Anthony Joshua fight in December 2025. Speculation suggests Netflix may be reducing its focus on live sports after the departure of former Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria. The potential move to DAZN would mark a shift in MVP's distribution strategy, which also includes a multi-year agreement with ESPN for its women's boxing brand MVPW.
