The fight was originally slated for July but was rescheduled. The 58-year-old, once considered 'the baddest man on the planet', is back in training for the much-awaited clash. This will be Tyson's first sanctioned bout for close to two decades after retiring from the ring in 2005.

Tyson who reigned as the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990, posted a short clip from his sparring sessions on his X account, formerly Twitter. "Oh I can't wait for November 15th. I'm charging right through you," he said.
In the video, Tyson can be seen backing his sparring partner up against the ropes. That prompts his trainer to call a halt to the sparring, leaving a pumped-up Tyson frustrated. "Are you f****** sure?' the 58-year-old shouts. 'I've got a lot in me, I'm just getting started."
Tyson is more than 30 years his junior and will start as an underdog. As the build-up to the November showdown intensifies, one fan said. "The passion in his voice tells me how much he wants it." "Imagine a world where 58 year old Mike Tyson knocks Jake Paul out. It would be beautiful," added another.
