But first, there’s footage of Paul’s first-round knockout of Andre August in December and of his stopping Mike Perry with a TKO and proclaiming, "I’m the face of this sport."

Then, the other face, the one with the famous tattoo – Tyson’s.

There’s footage of Tyson’s famous knockout of Michael Spinks, 91 seconds into their fight in 1988, and a knockout of Carl "The Truth" Williams three years later.

"I’m the best fighter in the world," Tyson exclaims.

Tyson, who will be fighting professionally for the first time since 2005, is 50-6 with 44 knockouts.

Paul, who will be fighting for the 12th time since embarking on his pro boxing career in January 2020, is 10-1 with seven knockouts.

"What happens next," says a narrator on the trailer, "only one way to know."
