Fans think they've worked out why Jake Paul walked out to a classic pop song.
It's almost time, as Paul and Tyson are finally set to face off, eight months after the initial announcement.
Hosted at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, USA, the NFL's Dallas Cowboy's home ground in front of 70,000 people, millions are watching across the world on Netflix.

Fans have already been given a jump-scare as footage from Tyson's locker room revealed that his bare a** was out, while some fans have endured streaming problems while trying to get the fight up.
The walk outs have just taken place, and fans think they know why Paul chose Phil Collins' 80s' classic, 'In the Air Tonight'.
You may remember 2009 comedy film The Hangover, which Tyson had a cameo in, and a famous scene from the film has Iron Mike punch actor Zach Galifianakis in the face, while singing the classic song.

The fight is currently streaming on Netflix, for millions around the world to view.

However, it will not adhere to the rules of a standard heavyweight bout, with gloves being 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 last two minutes instead of the standard three, and instead of 12 rounds, there will only be eight.
