The Tyson vs. Jones pay-per-view event costs $49.99 in the U.S. The event can be ordered at FITE.tv or its streaming apps, as well as at TysonOnTriller.com and major cable TV providers.
The Tyson vs Jones fight online free is an eight x two-minute round exhibition fight.
Originally agreed for six three-minute rounds, the conditions were shifted to the current format after the sanctioning body, California State Athletic Commission (CSAC), refused to sign off on three-minute rounds.
"Everything's to his advantage," Jones said on the Joe Rogan Podcast.
"At this point, the fans are so excited about it, I wouldn't want to pull the rug from under the fans... and they (Team Tyson) will try and sue me.
"It's not really worth it, so I'm going to go in and do these two rounds, but I'm going to have to work a little bit faster than I expected to."
Even though it's an exhibition, no headgear will be required. Tyson v Jones will wear 12 ounce gloves.
CSAC have also said their referee won't let things escalate beyond exhibition intensity.
"In this match, the referee will have the authority to stop the fight if it strays outside the boundaries of a competitive boxing exhibition," CSAC said in a statement.
Additionally, CSAC has confirmed that no judges will be scoring the bout, meaning they won't declare a winner.
Instead, a trio of former champions - Christy Martin, Vinny Pazienza and Chad Dawson - will remotely score the bout for the WBC in order to present the 'winner' with the Frontline Battle Belt.
