What other fighters will appear in the Countdown doc
Countdown won’t exclusively focus on the headlining Paul vs Tyson match-up, though. Those who tune in can also expect the docuseries to cover the upcoming women’s boxing match between super lightweight champion Katie Taylor and featherweight champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano.
Taylor and Serrano will also face off on Friday, November 15 at the AT&T Stadium, marking their second meeting in the ring. Netflix will stream this fight live, as well.
While Jake Paul has said Mike Tyson was not his first choice for the Netflix fight, it’s quickly become one of the year’s most-anticipated events. And the streamer’s attempt to capitalize on the excitement with a three-episode docuseries will likely increase the hype tenfold.
