Mauro Ranallo, a sports broadcaster with extensive experience in the world of combat sports, will handle ringside play-by-play duties for the fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.

The broadcast team for the main event on a six-fight fight card on November 15 includes Roy Jones Jr., actress Rosie Perez and Tyson's eldest son Amir.

These are some of the notable names assembled by Netflix, which is livestreaming the event and announced the details on Thursday, along with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), which was co-founded by Paul and has partnered with Netflix.

Ranallo, a Canadian who handled play-by-play duties for the 2017 fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor, has covered every major combat sport on national television, according to his website. He will be joined ringside at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, by Jones, the former world heavyweight champion, and Perez, an avid boxing fan referred to by some as the “First Lady of Boxing.”

Amir Tyson will serve as ringside reporter.

Other key members of the broadcast team include Kate Scott, a British sports presenter, who will serve as lead presenter; Andre Ward, the former boxing world champion, who will serve as lead booth analyst, and Ariel Helwani, who will serve as reporter.

In addition to broadcasting the fight, Netflix will also cover Tuesday's open training sessions, a Wednesday press conference and Thursday's weigh-in.
