MIKE TYSON and Jake Paul will finally meet in the ring TONIGHT to settle their beef on Netflix.
The pair are set to meet at the home of the Dallas Cowboys, with the fight being live streamed on Netflix to tens of millions of people around the world.
Due to the 31-year age gap between the Problem Child and Iron Mike, there are a number of rules in place that differ from the usual boxing fare – as well as a huge pot of cash.
That includes softer gloves and shorter rounds.
The bout is also set to take place at heavyweight, which had many fans wondering how big Jake Paul will come in.
The former Disney star and YouTuber has never fought at heavyweight before, while Tyson spent the whole of his glittering and controversial career in the sport’s biggest division.
Both men have been training hard in recent months and the weigh-in was explosive with Mike Tyson SLAPPING Jake Paul after it was revealed Paul stepped on Iron Mike’s toe.
