Ringside seats priced at a whopping $2million (£1.55m) have gone on sale as the fight between boxing legend Mike Tyson and YouTube star Jake Paul looms.

After the pair’s July date was postponed, Tyson and Paul will fight at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday, November 15. The 80,000-seater venue, home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, is expected to be sold out when they square off over 12 rounds, with Tyson coming out of retirement to fight Paul, who made his name in the online world but is now a professional fighter.

On Friday, consulting firm Elevate shared renderings of its swanky ringside hospitality package. A 10-ticket ‘MVP Owner’s Experience’ will seat two people in a private suite less than six feet from the action.

Other perks include a visit to meet both Tyson and Paul before the fight as well as a chance to be onstage during the weigh-in, autographed gloves from both boxers, a personal concierge and a security detail during the week leading up to the fight.

Ticket prices start as low as $37 (£29) on SeatGeek, the official online broker for the bout, while three ringside seats have been listed at $50,000 (£38k) each. A host of big-name stars are set to be at the event in a fortnight’s time, with Tyson and Paul both boasting huge followings.

Tyson celebrated his 58th birthday in June and insists that he’s fighting Paul, 27, to test himself. “This money from this fight is not gonna change my lifestyle or life one percentage, I will always be able to live this way; I could use a buck like everyone else, but this is not for financial reasons,” the former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world recently said via the Independent.

“I’m just doing it because I want to test myself. Regardless of me being how old I am, this guy only has 11 fights. If I can just fight a little bit, with my experience… if I can just fight 10 per cent of what I was, he can’t match that. That’s being sincere. I’m gonna beat him. I know what I can do, I’ve seen what he’s capable of doing, and I’m not intimidated or afraid of him.”

Paul’s only defeat came against Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia early last year and he’s out to make a statement. “You’re going to see on his record; Jake Paul KOs Mike Tyson,” Paul stated at September’s face-off.

“I’m not here to do s*** except make a bag. Every time fighters sit across from me and it’s, ‘YouTuber this and Disney kid that’ and they end up on the canvas… this is going to be no different. I brought this deal to this old ass motherf*****, we signed the contract with Netflix and we brought him the deal. You’re welcome my son.”
