Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will be among the sports stars celebrating on Wednesday after Donald Trump declared victory in the US election.
The 78-year-old is poised to make a stunning return to the White House, four years after he was denied a second term by Joe Biden.
Trump has already declared victory, with the president-elect vowing to 'fix everything' and to lead a 'golden age of America'.
And many sporting figures will be delighted with his imminent victory, with Tyson and Paul among them. GB News now takes a look at those who previously endorsed Trump and will be happy with his sensational triumph over Kamala Harris.

Tyson and Paul are currently preparing for their blockbuster clash in Texas, with that boxing fight due to take place on November 15.
Yet while they'll be enemies in the ring, the pair are aligned when it comes to Trump.
Tyson has regularly praised the 78-year-old and, earlier this year, endorsed him for presidency.
Paul did the same. Though the 27-year-old was unable to vote due to the fact he now resides in Puerto Rice, he believes Trump will save freedom of speech and crack down on transgender athletes in sport, too.

Harrison Butker
Harrison Butker, the kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs, revealed last month that he wouldn't be voting for Harris due to her pro-abortion stance - meaning he'll also be thrilled with Trump's imminent victory.
"I'm supporting the president that's going to be the most pro-life president," he said, with his comments then proceeding to spark a backlash.
"The topic is the most crucial topic for me. I want us to be fighting for the most vulnerable, fighting for the unborn, and that's what we should prioritize.
"I think you have to vote for whoever is gonna be the most pro-life and we have to be prayerful men that put God first. I think that's what's going to be best for our country."

Brett Favre
Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre has long made it clear he's a huge fan of Trump.
The 55-year-old, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease back in January, spoke at one of the 78-year-old's last rallies before the election.
Favre did, however, lament the 'hate' on both sides. "In all the elections I've seen over my lifetime, I've never seen one where there was so much hate," he said. "It's certainly sad to see."
Danica Patrick
Danica Patrick recently endorsed Donald Trump and said she'd be voting in a US election for the first time

Former racing driver Danica Patrick had, until this year, never voted in a presidential election.
But the 42-year-old recently revealed she would be voting for the first time, with Trump getting her support.
Explaining her decision, she said: "I think that Trump did a really good job of letting us know that there is such a thing as fake news.
"The person that runs this country should ultimately be running it very much like a business. I can't really think of a better businessman than Donald Trump."
Patrick also expressed a belief that Trump's first stint in the White House would stand him in good stead.
