Jake Paul has been brutally booed by boxing fans ahead of his bout with Mike Tyson tonight.
The 27-year-old has put on the big event as he looks to continue his impressive start to his fighting career, having won 10 of his 11 pro showdowns so far.
But it seems Tyson will have the backing of the crowd, if their reaction before the clash is anything to go by.
As Paul's face flashed across the big screen, the former YouTube and Disney star was brutally booed by those in attendance at the AT&T Stadium.

He is, however, unlikely to care too much given how much he'll be earning.
Speaking back in August, Paul revealed he was in line to make around $40million (£31.1m) from the clash.
"I'm here to make 40 million dollars and knock out a legend. I don't give a f**k about anything else,” he said.
Paul then revealed that it was actually Tyson, rather than himself, who wanted it to be sanctioned as a pro fight.

"If I did it for free, it’s not going to change my life financially.
"My wife is constantly telling me, you do not need to do this fight.
"This is what I want to do, this is me. I'm seeking my glory."

Tyson's last fight was an exhibition with Roy Jones Jr in 2020.
The boxing icon split opinion that night, with some feeling he lacked the power, speed and agility of old.
However, if he beats Paul at the age of 58, it will only cement Tyson's reputation as one of the best boxers of all time.
