Jake Paul has only fought two professional boxing matches before this matchup, albeit novelty one-offs. That said, he's performed well in each encounter - taking out Ali Eson Gib and Nate Robinson - so many are keen to watch the YouTuber now attempt to take on an MMA pro.
But Paul's reputation certainly isn't the only reason to tune in. Music fans are looking to the star-studded line-up, with Justin Bieber, The Black Keys, Doja Cat, Saweetie, Diplo and Major Lazer lighting up the bill. That's not all, though, Saturday's fight will also see the first appearance of hip hop super-group Mt Westmore, featuring Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Too $hort and E-40.
And outside all of that, there's still going to be enough time for another three fights - you can find the full card further down this page.

ExpressVPN is the world's top VPN
We've tested all of the major VPN services and we rate ExpressVPN as the absolute best. It's compatible with loads of devices including iOS, Android, Amazon Fire Stick, PlayStation, Apple TV and such, and we found it secure, speedy and simple-to-use.
Another great perk is the fact that it comes with a 30-day money back guarantee and 3-months FREE, so you can see if it's right for you with no strings attached.
Once you've downloaded the software, just follow the prompts to install it then select the location you want to relocate your IP address to - it really is that easy.
Remember, there are loads of benefits to using a VPN beyond just helping you regain access to streaming services and content from abroad. One of the biggest is security: by using encrypted tunnels, VPNs give you a robust first-line of defense against cybercriminals and government snooping. This makes everyday tasks like online shopping, banking much safer, and even just surfing the web much safer - so many people choose to use a VPN purely for its privacy and security benefits.
