Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson: can you watch Netflix fight on catch-up - how on-demand works

• Netflix will broadcast the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight live. 
• UK audiences have been reminded they need a TV licence if they are tuning in live. 
• But if you can’t stay up to watch the fight - will you be able to watch it on catch-up? 

For boxing fans in the UK, the timings for the high-profile Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight mean you will be in for a very late night if you want to watch it live. If you are not in a position to stay awake until the wee hours, you may wonder if it will be available to watch on catch-up. 

The professional bout will see Iron Mike make his grand return to the ring for the first time since 2005 - almost 20 years. He is set to face internet star/ YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul in one of the most talked about fights of the year. 

Netflix is carrying coverage of the bout - one of its most eye-catching live events so far - and it is available at no extra cost to subscribers. But if you live in the UK, you need to make sure you don’t fall foul of licence fee rules, or risk a potential £1,000 fine.
