Mike Tyson and Jake Paul collide in the early hours of Saturday morning live on Netflix.
Iron Mike makes a surprising return to professional boxing at the age of 58.
His last pro contest was against Kevin McBride in 2005 in sad performance that spelled the end of his at times controversial career.
4 years ago he did face another legend in Roy Jones Jr. but the bout was an exhibition with neither fighter really going for it.
Yesterday he returned to the public eye in a workout ahead of the clash with the YouTuber.

After seeing the footage most fight fans are not as impressed as the commentators and are worried Mike may be in trouble.
One said: ‘Mike is getting absolutely smoked.’
Another added: ‘I really hope he can destroy jp but he’s still an old man in comparison.’
A third commented: ‘As soon as Jake touches any part of his body with a half decent punch Mike will either quit or go down for a 10 count and that’s GUARANTEED.’
A fourth replied: ‘He’ll get worn out in 1 round. Paul KO in 2.’
Recently Tyson’s former coach Teddy Atlas gave his assessment on the fight.
Speaking to The Sun he said: “Is it real? If I am asked a question then I am going to say what I believe.
“I am not trying to point the finger or pour water on their party but a legitimate question from me is; is it real? Maybe it is, I hope it is.
“Is there going to be an honest effort to go and knock the other guy out? Is that really at the forefront of what is in these two guys’ minds?
“Is that what is driving these two guys – or is it strictly just to make money?
“The last thing that goes is power, look at George Foreman.
“Yeah your speed goes and your reflexes deteriorate, no doubt about it, but your power don’t.
“It’s muscle memory and if Paul throws a punch then Mike has the muscle memory to slip it and throw a punch and that’s all the timing he needs to land.
“So, if it is real and legit, I think the first two rounds could be really dangerous for Paul.
“You could see Tyson going out and going BANG, BANG and suddenly Paul has a problem and that’s the curiosity for me.
“I think he has the physicality, even at 58, to hurt the guy – if he has that mental effort and attitude and commitment to want to do it in a legitimate way.”
