The fight some people are clamoring to see now has an official poster. And it looks just about how you’d expect.

A few weeks back it was announced that 57-year-old former undisputed heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson would be returning to the ring after a 15 year absence to take on 51-year-old multi-weight class world champion Roy Jones Jr.

The bout between these two men, whose combined age is over 100, will be an 8 round exhibition bout and will take place on September 12th. The spectacle will be broadcast on the entertainment platform Triller.

And if that write-up hasn’t gotten you excited for the fight, here’s that poster:

The event on Triller will cost $49.99, but for that price you also get to watch Jake Paul vs. Nate Robinson. That’s right, YouTuber and hobby boxer Jake Paul—whose mansion was raided by the FBI a few days ago—is going to fight a former NBA slam dunk champion.
