Follow Mail Sport’s live blog as Jake Paul and Mike Tyson finally go head-to-head at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas for blockbuster Netflix bout.

Tyson’s Battlecry

If this video doesn’t get you pumped up, I don’t know what will.

Mike Tyson has been a man of few words throughout the whole build up to this fight, but the three he posted earlier on X say everything.

The Baddest Man on the Planet is well and truly ready to turn back the clock and show that knockout power once more.

Watching this clip has the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. I’m so excited.

Paul puts on the pounds

We are looking at a very different Jake Paul tonight.

The YouTuber doesn’t usually fight at heavyweight, in fact, this is the first time that he is.

Usually, we see him around the 190lbs mark, but he is nowhere near that tonight.

Paul has certainly been eating good this camp, that’s for sure. Yesterday he weighed in at 227.2lbs, just a pound less than Mike Tyson.

To put that into perspective, he only weighed 184lbs when he lost to Tommy Fury last year.

It will be interesting to see how he handles that extra weight around the ring.

Paul: ‘He must DIE!’

Jake Paul, speaking to Netflix, after the weigh-in on Thursday night:

I didn’t even feel it, he’s an angry little elf. That was a cute slap, Mike. I am f***ing him up, I am f***ing him up – it’s personal now. He must die!

The slap that shook the world

We simply have to talk about this.

Last night’s weigh-in ceremony was pretty mundane until Mike Tyson decided to spice things up.

You could see he just had that look in his eye as he charged over to Jake Paul for their final face-off.

Then… bang. He slapped him.

Paul took it well, but there is no doubt that the slap shook him. It has certainly added an extra dimension to this evening.

Just watching it back is getting me hyped for this fight.

What’s in store?

It’s already been a busy night…

The main card is truly in full flow and we have just three fights to go, including the big battle between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.

So, what do you have left to look forward to?

Here are the fights left on the card this evening:

  • Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson
  • Katie Taylor (c) vs Amanda Serrano – for WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring lightweight titles
  • Mario Barrios (c) vs Abel Ramos – for WBC welterweight title

Two hours to go!

Oh, I am so excited for this one.

Yes, this fight is controversial for many reasons, but absolutely nobody in the boxing world wants to miss it.

They might pretend they do, but deep down they want to watch.

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are set to take to the ring in roughly two hours, and then the talking will truly be over.

Knowing this sport, though, I wouldn’t rely on that time being accurate.

But anyway, we will use however many hours we have to build up the suspense, not that It really needs too much adding to.

Let’s get ready to rumble.
