Netflix Users Hit with Major Outage Just Before Tyson vs. Paul Fight

Just hours before the high-profile Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match, Netflix users were left in the dark as the streaming giant suffered a major outage affecting thousands of subscribers, particularly in the US and India. Fans hoping to catch the action on the platform were hit with error messages, buffering issues, and failed logins, leaving many frustrated as the tech glitch disrupted their viewing experience.

According to Downdetector, a popular site for tracking service disruptions, nearly 14,000 complaints flooded in at the peak of the outage. The issues primarily involved video streaming problems (around 86%), with 10% of users struggling to connect to Netflix servers, and 4% facing login difficulties. By the time the service began stabilizing, there were still around 5,100 reports of disruption.

In India, where interest in the Tyson-Paul match was particularly high, the outage peaked at around 9:30 AM local time. Over 1,200 users reported issues, with the majority citing streaming problems. Even members of the Times of India team experienced difficulties with live streaming during this period, further fueling the frustrations of viewers.

As the outage continued, social media was flooded with complaints and memes from users expressing their frustration. Many took to Twitter and Facebook to vent, asking Netflix for updates and some even poking fun at the timing of the technical glitch.

At this point, Netflix has yet to release an official statement regarding the cause of the outage, leaving users in the dark about when normal service will resume. While the disruption appears to have been localized to certain regions, it’s clear that the timing—just ahead of one of the year’s most anticipated boxing events—has left many feeling let down.

For now, all we can do is wait for Netflix to resolve the issue and hope that fans won’t miss out on the action from the Tyson vs. Paul fight.
