It's anyone's guess on who will win the sporting event of the year, with Jake Paul and Mike Tyson due to duke it out in the boxing ring.
As long as you're in 31 of the US states taking bets on the fight, you can place your own wager.
There's plenty of drama in the run-up to, the big fight, and as well as controversial rule changes, Tyson even slapped Jake Paul at the weigh-in.
Now, a 3D animation has predicted who will be victorious out of "Iron Mike and "The Problem Child".

Despite Tyson being 31 years Paul's senior, Boxing Fight Simulations predicts a devastating finish that will see Paul on the floor in a matter of minutes.
Although the video was released in 2023, it's resurfaced as we gear up for the big day. Remember that Paul vs Tyson was supposed to take place in July 2024, but Tyson suffering an ulcer flare-up aboard a plane led to it being delayed.
Looking like an old WWF game on the PlayStation One, the video shows Paul lasting 38 seconds into the second round until he's left on the floor.
While it's just a simulation, it shows Tyson delivering a flurry of blows and claiming Round 1 for himself. Paul struggles to recover, and as Round 2 gets underway, he's blasted with another barrage of hits. With Paul knocked to the floor, he can't get up, and victory is handed to Tyson.
Responding to the video, one fan wrote: "If Jake Paul lasts more than 30 seconds it will be cause Mike Tyson carries him for a few minutes before Knocking Jake out."
Another said: "Tyson will end him by 2nd round. .. I mean he will Apollo Creed his ass."
Someone else concluded: "It's gonna be a one rounder. Tyson will go all the way, win or lose."
As well as this just being a simulation, others noted that the video uses a younger Tyson, likely in his prime.
Tyson's age is thought to be a contributing factor in his bout against Paul, with questions about whether the heavier gloves will be used to his advantage or disadvantage.
With rule changes and banned bets, there are accusations that the whole thing is an elaborately staged event.
With around 300 million people set to tune in via Netflix, some people are due to make a lot of money.
Among them are the fighters themselves, with both are poised to make a tidy sum.
Still, Tyson says he's only in it for the glory and looks like he wants to prove he's still got what it takes to best the younger crowd.
Simulations aside, there's a 'leaked' script that claims Tyson will be knocked out by Paul in Round 5.
We'll have to wait and see if things play out in this way, but we imagine it won't look like a janky boxing game.
