ARLINGTON, Texas – The stars shine big and bright at the Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium on Friday night. Famous faces are on hand to watch the highly anticipated fight between boxer/YouTuber Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, a former heavyweight champion.

Paul, 27, has a pro record of 10-1. Tyson, 58, previously hung up his gloves in 2005 after a loss to Kevin McBride. Friday night will be a meeting of youth and experience, and celebrities will be on hand (and probably close enough to be in the “splash zone”) to witness a piece of sports history.

Here’s who we’ve seen so far on fight night.

Lennox Lewis: Jake Paul will ‘get scared’ versus Mike Tyson

Legendary boxer Lennox Lewis raised his arms in triumph at AT&T Stadium. Lewis, 59, predicted to Netflix that when Paul sees Tyson, Paul will “take off.” He’s going to run. He will be scared.”

Later, Lewis and Evander Holyfield appeared on Netflix’s broadcast. Due to a defective earpiece, Holyfield could not hear the questions properly. Lewis helped by relaying the questions directly to Holyfield. Holyfield and Tyson faced off in a memorable fight in 1997, in which Tyson bit off a chunk of Holyfield’s ear.

After Lewis and Holyfield’s Netflix performance, the two posed for photos with comedian Cedric the Entertainer.

And another boxing legend: Sugar Ray Leonard

Lewis also posed with Sugar Ray Leonard, the winner of several world titles in multiple weight classes, prior to the main event. Tyson expressed his admiration for Leonard in a moving 2020 episode of Tyson’s podcast, “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson.”

Simu Liu Beautiful in casual chic

Simu Liu, a member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, attended the fight with a casual appearance. The 35-year-old paired a gray T-shirt with light-wash jeans.

William Zabka and Ralph Macchio are ready to rumble

Although William Zabka and Ralph Macchio’s “Cobra Kai” characters specialize in karate, that didn’t stop the actors from attending Friday’s event. No word on whether the two, who first faced off in 1984’s “The Karate Kid,” will instruct one of the fighters to “wax on, wax off.”

It’s date night for Josh Duhamel

Josh Duhamel and his wife, Audra, had a date night during their excursion to Arlington. Duhamel, 52, shared his excitement on social media, posting a photo of the stadium with a beautiful sunset. “It’s fight night!!” the actor wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Thanks for joining us @netflix!!”
