After his highly publicized Netflix bout with Jake Paul in Texas this past November, Mike Tyson is now facing a lawsuit exceeding $1.5 million. Newly released court documents reveal that Tyson, who lost his Netflix fight to Paul earlier this year, and his company, Tyrannic, are facing a lawsuit filed by Medier, a Cyprus-registered company associated with the online casino and betting platform Rabona. The lawsuit, filed in London's High Court in October, accuses Tyson of breaching an agreement originally made in January.
Medier claims that Tyson terminated their deal in March, on the same day his Netflix fight with Jake Paul was publicly announced. Tyson allegedly cited a breach of contract by Medier as the reason for termination. However, Medier's legal team disputes this, arguing that no such breach occurred on their end and, instead, it was Tyson who failed to uphold the agreement.

Mike Tyson Has a Warning for Jake Paul
Mike Tyson shares a public warning for Jake Paul mere days ahead of their much-anticipated fight, which will be broadcast by Netflix.
According to Reuters, the company estimates its financial losses at approximately €1.46 million (around $1.5 million USD). "The true reason for Mr. Tyson and Tyrannic's hasty and unlawful termination was because Mr. Tyson had agreed to a deal, sponsored by Netflix, to fight the influencer Jake Paul," Medier's lawyers stated in the court documents. As of now, neither Tyson nor Tyrannic has filed a formal defense or publicly commented on the allegations. In a statement provided to ESPN, however, Tyson's legal team offered a firm response. “Medier materially breached the terms of its agreement with Tyrannic multiple times by exceeding the scope of the restricted license that was granted, causing, among other things, financial and reputational damage to the company and Mr. Tyson. Tyrannic properly terminated the agreement and is confident that the Court will view this dispute in its favor.”
Mike Tyson Responds To Massive Lawsuit
The Paul vs. Tyson event, organized by Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions agency, was one of the most anticipated pop culture moments of the year. The night featured an action-packed lineup, including title matches for both the WBC welterweight and women's lightweight championships. While the fight attracted a massive audience, it ultimately left many fans disappointed. Paul secured a decisive victory over Tyson in the controversial match held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Despite the hype surrounding the event, viewers felt the showdown fell short of expectations.
The event was also not without its share of issues. Netflix encountered widespread technical difficulties, leaving many viewers frustrated with outages and poor streaming quality. Adding to the controversy, the women's title match stirred heated debate among fans after Katie Taylor was awarded the victory while Amanda Serrano sustained a significant injury during the intense bout.
Despite the massive hype, the November 15 showdown between Tyson and Paul failed to deliver the excitement fans had hoped for, with Paul comfortably securing his victory. Speculation has swirled about a potential $700 million payday for Tyson if he were to win a rematch against the influencer, but so far, no concrete plans have been announced. In addition to a possible Tyson rematch, boxing world champion Artur Beterbiev has offered Jake Paul the chance to challenge the professional boxer for the world light-heavyweight title.
