KSI and Tommy Fury will battle it out in front of thousands of fans inside Manchester's AO Arena tonight.
And while those who didn't get tickets to the bout will be looking to watch from home, streaming experts have delivered an uppercut – trying to watch for free can land you a hefty fine. The feverishly-anticipated match is available to stream exclusively in the UK from sporty streamer DAZN.
The service has apps for all major platforms, including iPhone, Android, PC and Smart TVs. There is a little incentive for those going all out to buy the match as you'll get the first month for just £1 when you pay for the fight. Bargain!
If you're already subscribed to Sky Sports, it's possible to add a DAZN extension to your plan for £9.99 per month, a cheaper perk to already being signed up to one of the provider's monthly plans. And you can add it to your Sky account, here.
YouTube superstar KSI will take on former Love Island heart-throb Tommy Fury in what's expected to be an emotionally charged match. KSI recently came forward to say his feud with Jake Paul is the only reason he's doing the match, whilst Jake's brother Logan Paul will support the main event in a clash with MMA star Dillon Danis.

DAZN and Sky Sports HD are the only way to legally watch the fights. As always with these tentpole events, there's likely to be a large number of people on the hunt to watch the brawl for free, but these illegal stream come with huge risks.
While it might be tempting to dodge the £19.99 fee, there are a number of hidden dangers linked to these illicit ways of watching – from hidden viruses to identity theft caused by the sharing of personal information like email addresses and bank details used to unlock access to the stream.
New reseach from anti-piracy organisation FACT unveiled that nearly 47 per cent of people in the UK have shared or would be willing to share long in details to gain access to illicit streams. And once surveyed, one in three people said they had experienced fraud or been exposed to online scams as a result of illegally streaming.
Not to mention it can carry serious criminal charges. Earlier this year, 58 year-old Steven Mills was jailed for two-and-a-half years for being the mastermind behind a Premier League illegal streaming service that netted more than 30,000 subscribers and £1m.
Speaking about the dangers of illegal streaming services, CEO of FACT Kieron Sharp told The Mirror: "These platforms are not only infringing on copyright laws but also serve as a hotbed for criminal activities.
"This can lead to severe consequences, including malware, fraud, and identity theft. It is crucial that consumers understand the dangers of illegal streaming and steer clear of such platforms".
