Tonight is finally fight night as Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are set to battle it out in the ring, eight months after first announcing their bout.
The original fight was called off after Tyson faced some health concerns, but tonight (15 November) it will go ahead at AT&T Stadium in Texas, US, the home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys.
Things got heated at last night's (14 November) weigh-in, with tensions boiling over and Tyson slapping Paul during the pair's final face-off.

How to watch Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson
First of all, the fight will be available to watch on Netflix and all you need is a subscription, with no extra pay-per-view (PPV) charges, a rarity for boxing fans.

If you haven't got a subscription, it's worth noting that the standard plan with adverts will set you back £4.99 a month, with the ad-free plan sitting at £10.99, while a premium subscription will cost £17.99.
There is an alternative to Netflix though, to basically get it for free as part of a wider deal.
Sky is currently offering Netflix, Sky Stream, with Sky TV and Sky Full Fibre 300 Broadband, all for just £36 as part of its Black Friday deal. And given that its Full Fibre 300 broadband is usually £29 a month, for just £10 more you’ll also get access to Sky TV and Netflix for not much more.
When is the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson ring walk?
If you have no interest in the undercard, for which coverage starts at 1am (GMT) on Saturday, or 7pm (CT) in Texas, then here's the time you should be awake at.
Advert
Paul and Tyson's ring walks are set to commence at about 10pm CT at the AT&T Stadium on Friday, and as the UK is six hours ahead, this means that we can expect to see the headline fighters emerge at 4am GMT on Saturday (16 November).
You'll probably want to set your alarms for 10/15 minutes before this if you choose to sleep to ensure you're wide awake before watching one of the most highly anticipated boxing events of the year.
For those of you who are choosing to brave it and pull an all-nighter, I salute you, but be prepared for anything, as it should be noted that this isn't a time set in stone. It could be slightly earlier or even later, depending on how the undercard fights pan out.
There are seven fights happening prior to Paul vs Tyson, with Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano fighting in the co-main event for the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring lightweight titles.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson rules explained
The fight has been sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, meaning the result will go on each boxer's record.
It isn't a normal bout, though, with the rules different to a standard heavyweight fight.
Advert
Firstly, the gloves will be heavier at 14 ounces instead of 10. This means the punches will not land as hard due to the extra padding, as well as protecting each boxer's hands more than at 10-ounce gloves.
The rounds will also be two minutes each, instead of the usual three. And there will be eight rounds of boxing, not 12.
Some have questioned if this makes it a true match, while others have said as long as it is sanctioned, it is legitimate.
