What time to set your alarm for Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson in UK as fight details confirmed
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are set to face off in a first-of-its-kind Netflix boxing event live streamed around the world.
Taking place in the home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, both fighters will square off at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, USA, with tempers flaring big time in the hours before the fight after Iron Mike slapped Paul at their final face-to-face encounter.
More than 70,000 people are expected to be in attendance for the bout - including someone who paid $2 million for a ticket - making it the biggest ever American boxing event outside of Las Vegas.
With the event streamed live on Netflix, more than 280 million people will be given the fight to watch for free as part of their current subscription package.

When is the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight?
Paul and Tyson will conduct their ring walks at around 10pm local time at the Dallas Cowboys' stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday (15 November).
Given this is Central Time (CT), the UK is six hours ahead of this under GMT.
That means that the ring walks should take place at around 4am on Saturday (16 November). It isn't an exact time by any means though, with it potentially being brought forward or even going later depending on how the previous fights go.
All in all, there are seven other fights taking place, with Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano fighting in the co-main event for the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring lightweight titles.
How to watch Paul vs. Tyson if you don’t have Netflix
If you don’t already have Netflix, there is a workaround to essentially get it for free as part of a package deal. At the moment Sky is currently offering Netflix, Sky Stream, with Sky TV and Sky Full Fibre 300 Broadband, all for just £36 as part of its Black Friday deal. And given that its Full Fibre 300 broadband is usually £29 a month, for just £10 more you’ll also get access to Sky TV and Netflix for not much more.
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson rules explained
The fight has been sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, meaning the result will go on each boxer's records.
It isn't a normal bout, though, with the rules different to a standard heavyweight fight.
Firstly, the gloves will be heavier at 14 ounces instead of 10. This means the punches will not land as hard due to the extra padding, as well as protecting each boxer's hands more than at 10-ounce gloves.
The rounds will also be two minutes each, instead of the usual three. And there will be eight rounds of boxing, not 12.
Some have questioned if this makes it a true match, while others have said as long as it is sanctioned, it is legitimate.
