Fans have been eagerly awaiting the fight between a YouTuber-turned-boxer and a former undisputed heavyweight boxing champion for months now.

Just for clarity, Jake Paul is the YouTuber-turned-boxer and Mike Tyson is the former champion.

Now that's cleared up... the date is finally here and the bout is set to take place tonight (November 15) in the heart of the US at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The father-of-seven, 58-year-old Tyson, is set to come face-to-face with 27-year-old Paul, who serves as his first professional opponent since his shock defeat to Ireland’s Kevin McBride in 2005.

The fight was initially meant to go ahead on July 20 but Tyson had a medical emergency which meant that it had to be postponed.

His team said that the boxing legend was suffering from an ulcer problem that proved so severe he found himself in hospital.

So with all the hype and anticipation built up, millions of people around the world are expected to tune in to watch the two go a few rounds in the ring.

How to watch the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight

You will need to have a valid Netflix subscription to watch the fight. And that's it.

It means you can watch it via the app on your phone, gaming console, smart TV, or other device.

The standard plan with adverts costs $6.99 a month with other packages coming in at $15.49 a month and $22.99 a month, respectively.

Don't have Netflix? Don't panic: Verizon customers can get a free year of Netflix Premium when they bundle it with another subscription through Verizon's +play platform. Partnering services include Paramount+, NBA League Pass, and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Paul and Tyson's bout is scheduled to begin at 8 pm ET, 7 pm CT, 5 pm PT, and 1 am GMT.

While many are excited about the upcoming fight, some of the controversial rule changes have disappointed fans.

Both Paul and Tyson will be wearing 14oz gloves instead of the standard 10oz gloves worn in a heavyweight fight. The heavier the glove, the more padding and the more shock absorbed by it.

As well as this change, the fight will only be eight rounds instead of the usual 12. Of those eight rounds, rather than three minutes, like a normal professional bout, they are set to be two minutes long.

Neither will be wearing headguards either. But, as usual, there will be three sanctioned judges at ringside who will score each round in the event of there not being a knockout.
