Some of the rules for Mike Tyson and Jake Paul's upcoming fight can now be revealed.
The two men will face off in Texas on July 20, despite a huge 30-year age gap between the two fighters.
Many have criticised the two men for agreeing to fight, with Eddie Hearn admitting the fight makes him feel 'sad'.
But the pair are set to put any controversy behind them in roughly four months' time and, now, some of the rules for their bout have been revealed.

Per the Daily Mail, both men will be wearing 16-ounce boxing gloves instead of the traditional 10-ounce gloves used in professional fights.
And it's also said the rounds with last two minutes, instead of three, with no official judges ringside to score the fight.
The only way either fighter can win the fight would be if there was a knockout on the night.
The majority of the rules, barring those that relate to the weight of the gloves, are the same as when Tyson battled Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition match back in November 2020.
That fight sold over 1.6 million PPV buys and generated over $80 million, with the showdown ending in a split draw.
The undercard for the fight between Tyson and Paul is yet to be announced.
Tela Mange, Communications Manager for the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations, says it is 'normal' that the undercard is yet to be revealed at this stage.
"It's pretty common for a promoter to request a date several months out but not immediately provide the proposed card," Mange told USA Today Sports.
"They want to be sure that they've secured the date with us, since we'll have to make sure we have appropriate staffing available for any event.
"The promoter will need to submit proposed cards before we determine whether a particular contest would be considered as an exhibition or a professional fight, or how a proposed exhibition might be structured."
Both Tyson and Paul are set to make a small fortune from the bout.
And Netflix will be streaming the big event on July 20, with millions from all over the world poised to tune in.
Ricky Hatton, meanwhile, said boxing icons would be 'turning in their graves' at the prospect of Tyson and Paul meeting in the ring.
Speaking earlier this month, the Briton said: “I get the pushing and the shoving and the name calling and holding each other back, but some of the great champions of old will be turning in the grave watching that c**p to be honest with you.
"I’ll be turning in my grave and watching it myself.
