Jake Paul and Mike Tyson's long-awaited boxing match is almost upon us - and if the weigh-in is anything to go by, it's going to be quite the spectacle.
The pair are due to face off in the ring on Friday, November 15, in a bout that will be streamed for free on Netflix.

Following their weigh-ins at the Toyota Music Factory in Texas, the pair shared their final face-off before they meet in the ring at the AT&T Stadium on Friday night.
Paul was filmed crawling his way over to Tyson on all fours before popping up in front of him, when Tyson then quickly reached over and slapped him across his left cheek.
Security immediately stepped in to separate the two of them and Paul blew kisses at Tyson and appeared to tell the crowd that it "didn't hurt".
When asked why he slapped Paul, Tyson responded: "Talk is over."
Paul then switched from laughing to telling the crowd: "I didn’t even feel it. He’s angry, he’s an angry little elf.
"Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap buddy, but tomorrow you’re gonna get knocked the f**k out. I’m f**king him up, I’m f**king him up. He hits like a b***h."
He then warned: "It’s personal now. It’s personal now. He must die."
Tyson then claimed part of the reason he slapped Paul was because the social media star had trodden on his toe with shoes on, telling the New York Post: "I was in my socks and he had on shoes.
"He stepped on my toe because he is a f***ing a**hole. I wanted to think it happened by accident. But now I think it may have happened on purpose.
"I was in a lot of pain. I had to reciprocate."
A representative for Tyson, who is regarded as one of the best heavyweight boxers of all time, claimed that the reason for it was that Paul had been "baiting" his opponent for so long.
He told the outlet: "Jake has been poking the bear the whole time. Mike slapped the s**t out of him."

People are set to tune in to the fight - which is being streamed for free on Netflix rather than Pay Per View - to see the pair battle it out in the ring.
While Tyson's record speaks for itself, Paul has the benefit of youth on his side, as he is 31 years younger.
Despite the huge age gap, Tyson made his feelings on Paul known, previously saying: "He’s more of a clown than an entertainer. He’s a clown. He needs to stop playing."

Tyson, who last fought in an official professional match 19 years ago, added that he isn't worried about Paul being so much younger than him, explaining: "I don’t worry about anything but winning."
Paul vs. Tyson will be streamed live on Netflix on November 15.
