Jake Paul has offered Mike Tyson a huge £3.8million if he's able to last four rounds with him in their fight next month.
All eyes will be on the pair when they step out at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, with their showdown set to finally take place after previously being postponed earlier in the year.
Tyson is one of the biggest names in boxing, having dominated the heavyweight decision during his prime years in the sport.
He will be the underdog against Paul, however, who is currently 31 years Tyson's junior.

Paul, speaking in a video uploaded on Tuesday, lay down on a sofa with what seemed to be stacks of money piled up on his stomach.
The clip was shared to TikTok for his gambling site.
Piling up his cash, Paul said: “Mikey, Mikey, if you can last more than four rounds with me, I’ll give you an extra $5million (£3.8m).”
Tyson may not take Paul up on his offer, however.

And that's because the boxing icon will have to get a tattoo saying 'I love Jake Paul' should he end up losing.
"If you don't," he continued. "Then you have to get a tattoo that says 'I love Jake Paul'. Deal or no deal?"
Tyson, as things stand, is yet to respond.
The 58-year-old has been updating fans in recent weeks, however, sharing numerous clips of himself hitting the pads in the gym.

Meanwhile, speaking exclusively to GB News, Tony Bellew recently hit out at the fight between Tyson and Paul.
The Briton thinks it is a farce that it's happening.
And he also believes the 'writing is on the wall' after Tyson was forced to delay the bout earlier in the year following an ulcer flare up.
"When you've got to pull out because of health reasons, then the writing's on the wall really, isn't it? That's just me speaking out loud, but I hope he doesn't," he said.

"I just hope he's healthy. That's all I hope for.
"He's Mike Tyson, he's a legend of the sport and he’s one of the icons, one of the greats. I just hope he remains healthy and safe."
On what Paul gains from the clash, he added: "More financial freedom, I don't think there's anything more that can be gained.
"He gains nothing from boxing fans. From real boxing ones, it's a freak show, it's a gimme, it's a joke and that's just how it is.

"There's nothing that this guy can do that's going to solidify his place amongst boxers and get respect because he's not facing boxers. Until you face a professional boxer and beat one, face an English champion, you’ll get an awful lot of respect then.
"Face a British champion, face a European journeyman and win. But he doesn’t. He's very smart.
"I've gotta give him his due. From a business perspective, he's super, super smart. I've gotta credit him on that. That's the one thing I'll give him.
"But when it comes to it, it's just sad what he's doing. It really is. It's just in no way, shape or form can be condoned but it is what it is."
