Jake Paul takes on Anderson Silva this weekend in perhaps the biggest fight of the YouTube star's career to date. Here is all you need to know about the timings of the bout.
The YouTube star has a professional record of 5-0, having already defeated MMA stars Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.
But Silva represents a step up, with the 47-year-old Brazilian a professional boxer himself. He briefly participated in the sport during his early fighting career, in the form of two fights in 1998 and 2005 respectively.

But he made a return to the sport last year, defeating Julio Cesar Chaves. He then recorded a convincing first-round knockout win over Tito Ortiz.

"There's no room for lack of motivation, or downtime, or complaining, or anything like that. I know that this is a massive opportunity to catapult myself into the history books.
"To be a legend, you have to beat a legend, and that's what I have the opportunity to do here."
