When is the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson weigh-in, venue, time and regulations
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will take one step closer to their blockbuster heavyweight fight passing an important milestone later this evening. The pair will share the ring at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in the early hours of Saturday morning, UK time.
It's a controversial meeting between one of boxing's all-time greats and YouTube star turned boxer Paul. The fight has already been postponed earlier this year after Tyson suffered a bout of ill health, while Paul, who is 31-years younger than his opponent has also been warned heading into the fight.
The latter of the duo has built up an impressive professional boxing resume, fighting big name UFC stars, but has been criticised for avoiding fights with fellow professional boxers. His only defeat to date was against Tommy Fury back in 2023 and will step in the ring with Tyson, who has not fought in a professional capacity for two decades.

The face-off will be broadcast on Netflix's YouTube channel live and for free, while Jake Paul's own Most Valuable Promotions YouTube channel will also be broadcasting the event for free
Tyson should have no problem getting in shape for the fight having fought at heavyweight throughout his entire career. He weighed in at 220lbs for his exhibition fight with Roy Jones Jr. in 2020 having spent the majority of his career around 233lbs.
In contrast, Paul has spent the majority of his professional boxing career fighting at super-middle and cruiserweight, weighing in at 185lbs for fights with Tommy Fury and Nate Diaz. The 27-year-old bulked up to 230lbs for the original bout with Tyson, but dropped down to 200lbs to fight UFC fighter Mike Perry.
Fans are eagerly waiting to see how the pair will weigh in later this evening.
