Boxing fans will be charged £9.99 to watch KSI’s rematch with Logan Paul on Sky Sports Box Office.
The YouTube stars fought to a draw last year in Manchester and will clash again in November, this time as professionals.
They have been granted licences by the California State Athletic Commission and will touch gloves at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Billy Joe Saunders will defend his super-middleweight world title on the undercard, but his fight is expected to be shown for free.
“It will be a lot cheaper than a standard Saturday night, £9.99, so around half price,” promoter Eddie Hearn told The Independent .

“We want Billy Joe Saunders to be part of the preview, I don’t want to restrict his UK audience viewing. Maybe building up to the night, KSI and maybe one other US fight on PPV.
“The beauty of Sky Box Office offering is the ease of the PPV. We do PPV’s from 300,000 buys to 1.4 million buys and everybody knows how to do it and where to find it.
“It’s just about do we want to do it on YouTube PPV or Sky Box Office PPV, my gut is Sky Box Office PPV because it’s much simpler, everyone understands. These young kids get it, you can put it on any website and they’d find it.

“This is a one off event, it won’t be Carl Froch, Tony Bellew, Matthew Macklin [as presenters], it will be an entertainment package. You need to put together from an audience that they understand.
“When we did the press conference in America, about 1,000 fans turned up and no one knew who I was. I was walking around and no one knew, same with Matthew Macklin, you need a little bit of that because you need the boxing entertainment but you need guys who appeal to that market.”
Rising American star Devin Haney will also feature on the undercard on November 9, along with a women’s world title fight.
