Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are throwing down at AT&T Stadium in Texas tonight ... and, fans in the area who couldn't score tickets can enjoy the match with a stripper dancing on them.

We called up a few strip clubs in the Dallas area and asked about their fight night plans ... and many told us they've got specials and deals for patrons who want a little lovin' with their fightin'.

Spearmint Rhino in North Dallas tells us they're offering selected bottle service for $175 and lap dances for $25 ... while The Men's Club of Dallas is offering steak and lobster for $23, a $150 bottle service and just $3 for a domestic beer.

Taylor Swift's getting a big police escort up in Canada and, while some fans say she completely shut down a freeway in the city, we're told that's not true ... she only partially shut it down.

Here's the deal ... T-Swift's up in Toronto for a few "Eras" tour shows -- and, yesterday, video surfaced of the pop star and her team getting Justin Trudeau-level treatment in the city, with cops leading her down an empty highway on the way to her show.

The move pissed off a lot of people in the city ... who posted videos to social media calling Taylor out for totally shutting down the highway and causing traffic jams -- but, cops tell us that isn't exactly the case.

For the 22nd year in a row, Shawne Merriman will get out into the community in order to assist the needy ... and he tells TMZ Sports he couldn't be happier to do it!

The Chargers legend is hosting his annual Lights On Foundation Coat Drive later Saturday ... just before his alma mater, the University of Maryland, takes on Rutgers in a big college football game.

The ex-pass rusher says he'll personally be at the event -- helping collect "gloves, scarves, hats" and "anything that's going to keep people warm" as the cold winter months approach.

Forget tens of thousands of dollars ... the lucky baseball fan who scores the ultra-rare, MLB Debut Paul Skenes card just got an offer for the piece from Livvy Dunne and the Pittsburgh Pirates that's going to be very tough to refuse.

In a statement released Friday, the Pirates said they're willing to fork over two tickets behind home plate for Pittsburgh games for the next THIRTY YEARS, a meet-and-greet with Skenes himself, a bunch of autographs and several other experiences ... in exchange for the 1-of-1 card.

Livvy -- Skenes' famous girlfriend -- added minutes later that she'd sweeten the pot ... by offering up a seat next to her at one of the pitcher's games next season.

Taylor Swift is feeling herself now more than ever ... hitting a particularly sexy dance move as her record-breaking 'Eras' tour is approaching its finish line.

The singer, who performed at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada Thursday evening, switched up the choreography a bit for her performance of "Look What You Made Me Do" ... thrusting more sensually than ever before.

Check it out ... as Taylor belts out her "Reputation" era anthem in her new bodysuit, she grinds against the raised platform, bopping up and down while giving a confident hair flip.

Mike Tyson jumped the gun with Jake Paul ... slapping his boxing opponent in the face at the final face-off before their big fight ... and it's all on video.

In a vid from the event, you can see the unidentified man put down the quesadilla-esque food in Chestnut-like fashion ... dipping each bite in some kind of liquid before shoving it down his throat.

Nearly getting run over by a Knicks player apparently has a place alongside Oscars and blockbuster movie credits for Anne Hathaway ... 'cause she just revealed her scary encounter with OG Anunoby earlier this week was actually on her "bucket list!"

Hathaway took to her Instagram page on Thursday night to address the close call she had on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden ... and she was surprisingly jovial about it all.

In a selfie video, she said "I almost got crashed into last night!" before adding, "I always wanted that to happen!"

Cameron Brink peeled back the curtain on her big Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue debut ... sharing a few behind-the-scenes pics of the photo shoot -- and she looks fantastic!!

The WNBA star posted the snaps on Instagram ... documenting what she's been up to recently -- including her recent collab with the popular magazine.

Brink flashed her athletic physique in the shots ... which showed her interacting with all the staffers on hand.

The legend of the viral breakdancing sensation Raygun continues to grow long after the Olympics -- 'cause her routine is now a part of "Call of Duty!!"

Plenty of gamers loved the idea of including Raygun ... with one wanting to throw their cold-hard cash at it immediately.

Jason Kelce debuted his new Christmas song before its streaming release ... performing the track live onstage at Lincoln Financial Field before the Eagles game!

The retired NFL center sang "Santa Drives an Astrovan" ahead of the Eagles Thursday Night Football game against division rivals Washington Commanders.

Several fans at the tailgate party captured the performance on video ... with Kelce joining the indie rock group Mt. Joy to sing their duet.

Megan Fox made her first appearance after her big baby announcement ... but it was only from the neck up so you couldn't see her belly.

The actress, who our sources say is 4 to 5 months along in her pregnancy, and her rock star boyfriend, Machine Gun Kelly, rolled up in a Rolls-Royce to the Chateau Marmont in L.A. for the GQ Men of the Year 2024 party.

MGK stepped out of the car and went inside the event, leaving Megan in the backseat with a driver and a security guard in the front seats.

A college basketball game was delayed several minutes on Thursday night ... because a player upchucked all over the floor!!

The gross scene unfolded just a few minutes into Eastern Michigan's matchup with IU Indy ... when Jalin Billingsley got so sick while trying to run back on defense, he vomited right on the hardwood.

Take a look at a replay from the game (only if, of course, you haven't had your breakfast yet!) -- Billingsley can be seen appearing to throw up while in a full sprint ... before he stops and hunches over.

Sylvester Stallone compared Donald Trump to his famous character Rocky Balboa, saying he's in awe of the president-elect's victory in the 2024 election and labeling him a mythical figure.

The iconic actor delivered a speech at an event at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate Thursday night -- kicking things off by discussing the first scene of his 1976 classic boxing film, "Rocky."

Sly told the audience the camera pans from a wall painting of Jesus Christ in a converted church with a boxing ring, where Rocky is getting pummeled by his opponent, as the words “Resurrection AC Club” are seen in the background.

If you were looking for betting advice from Andre Ward on the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight ... search elsewhere -- the former boxing superstar tells TMZ Sports it's so close between the two, he has absolutely "no idea" how things will shake out.

The ex-champ broke it down for us on Thursday -- roughly 24 hours before Tyson and Paul will square off in Dallas on Netflix -- explaining that because of Tyson's age and background, the scrap is simply impossible to predict.

"If it's the average 58-year-old, you kind of, sort of know how this thing is going to go," Ward said. "But we're talking about Mike Tyson. If there's a 58-year-old that I'm not worried about, it's him."

Former American boxer James "Buster" Douglas competed professionally from 1981-1999, however he was 30 years old when he rose to mega fame after his legendary Mike Tyson knock out in the Tokyo Dome back in 1990.

Buster was the underdog heading into the ring against Tyson during the 1990 match in Tokyo, but with strong jabs and forceful right hands, he became the first boxer to knock out Tyson -- ending his 3 year reign as heavyweight champion.

Douglas also took on and defeated other heavyweight world champs like Trevor Berbick, Greg Page and Oliver McCall.
