Jake Paul has offered Mike Tyson a $5million (£3.8million) contract clause if he can manage to meet one condition during their fight.
The pair are set to go head-to-head on 15 November after a whole lot of hype.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer and legendary former boxer were originally supposed to have faced off back in July, but the anticipated Netflix special live event was postponed when Tyson was unable to train due to illness.

But it very much looks like the biggest YouTube boxing fight yet is finally going to go ahead, and there’s been quite the catch added to Paul’s new offer.
In a video released yesterday (8 October), the 27-year-old lay on a sofa with what appeared to be stacks of money piled up on his belly.
Paul shared the bizarre clip to the TikTok for his gambling site, Betr, with the captions: “Deal or no deal,” and “Jake Paul’s offer to Mike Tyson.”

Piling up the money, he says: “Mikey, Mikey, if you can last more than four rounds with me, I’ll give you an extra $5million.”
However, he adds a little bit of catch for the alternative.
“But, if you don’t,” the YouTuber says, “then you have to get a tattoo that says ‘I love Jake Paul’. Deal or no deal?”
It doesn’t appear that Tyson and his camp have publicly responded to this new (and slightly bizarre) offer just yet.

On oddschecker, Paul is at 2/5 to win compared to the former pro at 11/4. And the odds of the pair settling at a draw is at just 12/1.
Some users reckon if he takes this new offer, it’ll be the ‘easiest five mill’ Tyson has ‘ever made’.
Whereas some reckon the 58-year-old will aim to KO his opponent in the first round rather than putting his stamina to the test.

One even went as far to say: “Bro Mike's a legend you wouldn't even look at him back in day... this guy’s bragging about senior citizens”

Another even said: “Coming from the guy who won’t last two rounds with Mike.”
While one asked him: “But what happens when you get knocked out in the first?”
Others however quipped: “No deal he is just trying to not get knocked out.”
And some even came up with their own deal: “If he knocks you out then you need to get a tattoo that says, ‘I fought Mike Tyson and all I got was knocked the f**k out.’”
