This event is coming courtesy of Triller Fight Club, a new promotion started by the popular social media video sharing platform Triller. This is the second such boxing event hosted by Triller. Last November, the company joined with the Legends Only League to bring Mike Tyson back into the ring in an exhibition fight against Roy Jones, Jr. Fighting as the co-main event was Jake Paul, who fought and defeated former NBA player Nate Robinson in what was Paul’s second professional boxing match. The knockout went viral on social media and Paul later openly challenged UFC star Conor McGregor to a boxing contest.

Although “Jake Paul vs. Conor McGregor” hasn’t yet materialized (and probably won’t), Triller Fight Club did manage to snag retired UFC fighter, Ben Askren, as Paul’s next boxing opponent. Paul is the slight favorite to win, although Askren will be the first professional fighter that the YouTuber has actually faced in the ring. If you want to see how the chips fall tonight, you can watch the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren live stream online when you sign up for FITE.tv and grab the pay-per-view for $50.

Netflix is worried people aren’t watching enough so its next move could change the app forever

Netflix's next big update could look a lot more like cable TV

Netflix on TV couple watching

Netflix has spent years telling the entertainment industry that binge-worthy originals and a simple user experience were enough to stay ahead. That strategy helped make it the world's biggest streaming service. But according to a Wall Street Journal report, the company is increasingly concerned about a different metric: engagement.

While Netflix continues to post healthy profits and retains one of the lowest subscriber cancellation rates in the industry, executives are reportedly seeing early signs that people are spending less time watching content. That matters because engagement - not just subscriber numbers - has become one of the biggest indicators of whether customers will stick around, watch ads, and continue paying for the service.

Koontz (Shelby Oaks) and Steven Spielberg are developing a film adaptation of the viral YouTube horror series, The Mandela Catalogue.

Series creator Alex Kister will direct the film with a screenplay written by Tyler Clifton.

Microdramas are booming, and Character.AI is turning it into a two-way obsession

Watch an AI microdrama, then interrogate the characters yourself

Character.AI AI Microdramas Featured

Microdramas have already conquered the tiny vertical screen. Character.AI wants to make the experience even more immersive. The chatbot platform has launched c.ai Series, a collection of original, mobile-first microdramas created by its in-house studio. Each show consists of bite-sized vertical episodes, although watching is only half the experience. Viewers can also chat directly with the characters afterwards, revisit moments from the story, explore relationships, or begin entirely new storylines.

It is the latest attempt to blend streaming with audience participation. Netflix recently took another route with Unhinged, a horror game that turns a viewer’s phone into a controller and allows them to call during gameplay. Meanwhile, Character.AI is bringing interactivity into the fiction itself by keeping its characters available long after an episode ends.
