But before these two cruiserweights dance in the ring, there are several scintillating fights on the undercard.

Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez and Yuniel Corticos will leave it all in the ring for the WBA and WBO cruiserweight titles.
Holly Holm makes her official return to the ring after a decade away to fight Mexican star Yolanda Vega.
And undefeated Raul Curiel goes toe-to-toe with Victor Ezquiel, who boasts an unblemished record of 16 wins and one draw.

Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr
JAKE PAUL'S controversial boxing career rolls on this weekend with the Problem Child facing boxing royalty in Anaheim, California.
Paul will face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, a highly-decorated former world middleweight champion.
The Mexican, 39, has fought just once in the last four years but has the best boxing resume of any fighter to step into a ring with Paul - bar Mike Tyson, who was aged 58 at the time they fought.

Aussie boxer Nikita Tszyu welcomes first child and reveals newborn's VERY unusual name
Nikita Tszyu has welcomed his first child with his wife Nikita Bedwell. The Aussie boxing star, 27, shared the happy news to Instagram on Saturday and revealed his baby girl's very unusual name. The couple named their daughter Curiosity and hope the name will give her both courage and strength. 'Curiosity is the passion that drives us through our everyday lives. It is this powerful force of curiosity which has led humans to become explorers, scientists, historians and artists,' Tszyu posted to social media. 'Curiosity is the everlasting flame burning in all of us that compels us to ask questions, to wonder, to learn, to grow and to know. 'As parents, we hope our daughter's name will give her the courage and strength to explore life without fear. 'May her own curious mind be the guiding compass leading the way as she grows to understand herself and the world around her.' 'As Curiosity's parents, we vow to nurture her spirit of adventure and use the principles of the Japanese Bushidō 'The Way of The Warrior' as a guide to raising her.' Tszyu, who is known for staying out of the spotlight, wed Bedwell in January, with just his famous father Kostya, brother Tim and Ms Bedwell's dad there as witnesses. When Tszyu's mother was asked about the ceremony, she revealed that she had only just been informed about the wedding taking place. 'If the couple are happy — I'm blessing them both!' she told News Corp. Tszyu, known as 'The Butcher' for his aggressive style in the ring, is much more reserved in his personal life. There is barely a photo of his partner on social media or from public events, with many outsiders unaware that he was even in a relationship. Tszyu, who has been fighting as a pro for three years, is rumoured to be taking on Michael Zerafa in his next bout, but nothing is as yet finalised.

'I know a lot of dangerous secrets about the Kennedys. I will shock the world': Marilyn Monroe's ominous words before she was found naked and dead in bed... so was she murdered to silence her?
My god what a beautiful woman, thinks jazz singer and pianist Buddy Greco. He's sitting outside Frank Sinatra's bungalow in Lake Tahoe when a limousine pulls up and 'this gorgeous woman in dark glasses steps out'. It's Marilyn Monroe. She greets him with a big hug around the neck. He finds her 'smart, funny, intelligent, if fragile'. Along with English actor Peter Lawford and his wife Pat, they are guests of Sinatra for the weekend. Also invited are a number of Sinatra's other Hollywood friends and Mafia associates like Sam Giancana. Sinatra and the Lawfords are aware of what's been going on with Marilyn and the Kennedys – used and dumped by Jack and Bobby – and are hoping that getting her out of Los Angeles will distract her.

Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr LIVE RESULTS: Card on NOW, fight updates and time as Problem Child returns
Paul next? The big world title fight between Zurdo Ramirez Yuniel Dorticos will not only hold interest for boxing fans, but for fans of Jake Paul. Should the Problem Child win, tboth the WBA and WBC will rank him in the top 15 - making him a potential future opponent for Ramirez. "If I'm open, after this fight,' Ramirez said when asked about a fight with Paul. "I need to win. He needs to win. That's fine for me." Should he win, though, Ramirez could also turn his attention to unifying the division, where other belts are currently held by 41-year-old WBC champion Badou Jack and the imposing and undefeated IBF champ Jai Opetaia. Ramirez said: "This fight first, then anyone. If I can get all the belts, let's do it.' He also added he doesn't foresee any problems dealing with Dorticos' power. The Cuban is nicknamed Dr KO after reeling off 25 knockouts in 27 wins. 'I think I can take punches," Ramirez added, "I have the skill to beat this guy. "I'm going to prove I'm the best in this division. That's why I'm putting my belts on the line – to prove I'm the best cruiserweight. "I expect a war. I expect he's really prepared. Everyone will see why 'Zurdo' Ramirez is the champion. I'll be prepared for Dr. KO."
