This weekend is so packed we can’t cover it all. Here are the conversation-worthy highlights.
The Tyson vs. Jake Paul Fight: A Historic Matchup
In an equally thrilling matchup, boxing legend Mike Tyson will face off against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. This unique heavyweight clash has generated massive excitement, especially with a 31-year age gap between the two fighters. The bout will be streamed live on Netflix, marking the first-ever Netflix boxing match. With heavier gloves and no headgear, this event promises to be an intense battle, and boxing fans won’t want to miss it. Coverage starts at 8 pm ET, but the actual fight time will depend on the pre-fights, so keep an eye on the schedule.
NFL Showdown: Chiefs vs. Bills in Buffalo
We have a memorable NFL (National Football League) showdown between the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills. This game promises high drama, featuring two of the league’s top quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. Add in the star-studded presence of Taylor Swift (who’s performing in Toronto this weekend) and her longtime friend, actress Hailee Steinfeld (who happens to be Josh Allen’s girlfriend). This game is bound to be one for the history books, with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce just one touchdown away from breaking the franchise record.
WNBA Draft Lottery: A New Era of Talent
In other sports news, the WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) Draft Lottery on Sunday will reveal the next wave of top talent, following in the footsteps of stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. UConn's Paige Bueckers is the projected No. 1 pick in the draft on April 14.
NWSL Playoffs: The Road to Glory
Meanwhile, in the NWSL (National Women’s Soccer League) playoffs, the Orlando Pride will face the Kansas City Current, and the Washington Spirit will battle New Jersey/New York Gotham FC, led by Olympic star Trinity Rodman. The intensity of these playoff matches will keep fans on the edge of their seats as the teams fight for a chance at the championship.
LeBron James’ Triple-Double Record: The King Keeps Dominating
Lastly, in the NBA (National Basketball Association), Bronny James will not be playing in road games for the G League (NBA’s development league) as he splits his time with the Lakers’ main roster. On the other hand, his father, LeBron James, defies age, breaking his record for the oldest player to record three consecutive triple-doubles. A triple-double is when a player achieves double-digit stats in points, rebounds and assists in a single game—a true testament to LeBron’s continued greatness.
This weekend will surely be one of the most exciting in recent memory, so don’t miss out on these incredible events! Keep up with us on social media, and head to lastnightsgame.com for all the latest sports coverage.
