The referee who will take charge of the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has been named.

Legendary fighter Tyson will take on YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul inside the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Friday night, four months after the original July bout was cancelled on medical grounds.

58-year-old Tyson's medical emergency on board a flight from Miami to Los Angeles led to the postponement of the first fight.

Prior to the fight, it was reported that referee Mark Calo-oy would be officiating the much-anticipated bout.

Previously, Calo-oy was the man in the middle for the fight between Paul and UFC legend Nate Diaz.

Paul came out on top via a unanimous decision after 10 rounds of action.

It has been suggested that Calo-oy was chosen due to his experience in dealing with big fights.

The 64-year-old took charge of the world title fight between Canelo Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders in 2021.

Paul and Tyson will fight over eight two-minute rounds, with the 27-year-old being the bookies' favourite due to his age.

On Thursday, Tyson was filmed slapping Paul on the stage during the weigh-in.

Paul said of the incident: "I didn’t even feel it. He’s angry. He’s an angry little elf. Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap, buddy, but tomorrow you’re getting knocked the f*** out. I’m f***ing him up.

"He hits like a b***, it’s personal now, he must die!"

Meanwhile, Tyson said: "I was in my socks and he had on shoes. He stepped on my toe because he is an a**hole. I wanted to think it happened by accident. But now I think it may have happened on purpose.
