Jake Paul is facing off against Anthony Joshua this weekend, and you can catch all of the action on Netflix.
Fans will want to make sure they're watching in the best quality possible, and thanks to a 'hidden' setting on the streaming platform, you can supercharge your viewing experience.
The YouTuber-turned-fighter is set to take on a far bigger boxer for the bout, which has had friends and opponents alike concerned for Paul's safety.
If you haven't got Netflix yet, there's a great deal to be had with the Sky TV bundle that has been slashed to its lowest-ever price.

'Hidden' Netflix setting
Fans first noticed this nifty setting when it was Jake Paul's fight against Mike Tyson, which was the first time live combat sports had been shown on Netflix.
It turns out you can watch the fight in 4K with a few tweaks.
You need to be subscribed to the 'Premium' service to find this feature in order to improve the resolution.
Netflix told TV Answer Man that the fight will be broadcast in 4K.
Usually, Netflix broadcasts in the standard 1080p/HD quality.
How to access the setting
To activate the 4K setting, you need to do the following (as well as having a 4K TV, obviously)...
- Sign in to Netflix on a computer and head to https://www.netflix.com/title/80018499 on any web browser
- Add the 'Multipurpose Chart 1920 x 1080: 60fps test pattern (S2: Episode 8) to your Netflix library, using the 'Add To My List' option. If you aren't on Premium, this pattern won't show as an option.
- Open the Netflix app on your compatible TV
- Select the above test pattern in the 'My List' section
After this, Netflix will prompt you to make picture adjustments using the section titled 'Colour Control'.
TechRadar advises you to follow the on-screen instructions to ensure there is 'clear definition between the darker centre and brighter surrounding squares in the colour patches'.
There you have it!
