A simulation of the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight has predicted a savage finish for one boxer.
Today (November 15), Tyson, 58, will come face-to-face with 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, who is set to be his first pro opponent since 2005.
The former heavyweight world champion was defeated by Kevin McBride back in 2005, shortly after which he announced he would be retiring from the sport.
Although the boxers were set to face off in July, unfortunately Tyson suffered a health emergency and the fight was postponed.

As the final countdown to the match approaches, there's been heaps of drama already, from rule changes, alleged 'leaked' scripts and Tyson even slapping Paul at the weigh-in.
Now, one 3D simulation has predicted the final outcome of the match - and it's not looking good for Paul.
Boxing Fight Simulations thinks there'll be one clear winner and is predicting Paul to be on the floor within the first round, after being bombarded with punches from Iron Mike.

He's knocked to the ground again in the second round, but this time the ref calls time on the match and Tyson is victorious.
The simulation was released in 2023 and fans are divided over whether it's an accurate representation of what could happen on fight night.
One person commented: "If Jake Paul lasts more than 30 seconds it will be cause Mike Tyson carries him for a few minutes before knocking Jake out."

With another saying: "It's gonna be a one rounder. Tyson will go all the way, win or lose."
And a third added: "Yup pretty accurate, I doubt Jake will even last 1 round."
With hours until the pair enter the ring, one social media user took to Reddit to share a clip of Tyson's alleged training regime in comparison to Paul's - and it's left people adamant that Tyson will take the win.
The clip appears to consist of a number of different videos stitched together, so it's important to note that it may not accurately reflect Tyson or Paul's full training program.

"Iron Mike Tyson will DESTROY him," one person commented after watching the clip.
Another added: "Do you see the amount of padding Mike Tyson’s trainer is wearing and needs that says it all."
