Hello and welcome to our live blog for one of the most eagerly-anticipated - and controversial - boxing fights of the year: Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul.
The pair are facing off at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday night, with the fight being broadcast live on Netflix.
You can find updates on all the big moments and reaction in our live blog below.
Tyson, 58 is taking on a man less than half his age in the form of 27-year-old YouTuber Paul, making this the biggest age gap between two fighters in professional boxing history.
It will be Iron Mike's first professional fight since 2005 and the first time he has stepped in the ring since he took on Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition in 2020.
Paul, meanwhile, last fought in February as he stopped Ryan Bourland in the first round, with his only loss coming to Tommy Fury.
The fight will be contested over eight, two-minute rounds with both Paul and Tyson wearing 14-ounce gloves in the ring and no headgear.
It had been scheduled to take place in July, but the fight was postponed after Tyson was hospitalised with a stomach ulcer and was advised by his doctor to refrain from any heavy training in order to recover.
