And the WBC are helping sanction the fight, even offering the winner a world ranking and special belt in victory.

But they will also have open scoring and VAR for the celebrity grudge match.

Here, SunSport explains just what that means.

What is open scoring?

Most controversies in boxing come in the shape of the judges scorecards.

But the WBC’s open scoring system allows each fighter and their corner to know who is ahead after four and eight rounds.

It means half way through tonight’s bout, both will know who is ahead.

Yes, meaning the officials will have the chance to review any incident while the fight is going on.

The WBC introduced the rule in 2008, allowing referees a replay, coming in handy for cuts and illegal blows.
