The pair were initially slated to throw down on July 20 but the bout was rescheduled after Iron Mike suffered a medical emergency onboard a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.

Tyson has recovered from the stomach ulcer flare-up that forced the postponement of the bout and is hard at work in the gym.

But the boxing legend is feeling every bit of his 58 years, revealing to USA Today: “It’s hard to walk right now.

“But two months from now I’m going to be perfect. The fight is won in the gym.

“Listen, I’ll do anything that will help me.

“I’m going to enjoy my time here tonight with all my 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥hood friends, and the hell with Jake Paul.”

Fight fans couldn’t help but share their concerns after learning of Tyson’s training admission.

One wrote on X: “Here we go again.”

“And another said: “A 60-year-old vs. a 27-year-old? Enough, just stop.”

One remarked: “I’m sorry but at this point…I’m boycotting this s**t . This is not right.”

Another chimed in: “[I] feel bad for Tyson.”

Tyson and Paul will duke it out in front of a packed crowd at Cowboy Boys Stadium in Dallas and millions of curious watchers on Netflix.

Fan favourite Tyson will be paid handsomely for the Texas tussle but insists the huge purse on offers isn’t the reason why he’s decided to lace up his gloves again.

The New Yorker recently admitted: “I’m a glory junkie. I love people thinking about me all day.

“I’d rather live a short life of glory than a long life of obscurity. It’s just who I am.

“This is all I started fighting for—to get all this f***ing status.

“I’m going to be chasing it for the rest of my life. I know that.

“I’m never going to get what I want, because I’m one of those gluttons for pain. I can never get enough.”
