Mike Tyson says he is “prepared” for his bout with Jake Paul on 15 November after the fight’s original date had to be postponed.<\/b><\/p>\n

The pair were due to fight on 20 July but Tyson had an ulcer flare-up<\/a> that forced the match with the YouTuber to be rescheduled. <\/p>\n

The fight, which will be held at the 80,000 capacity AT&T stadium in Texas, is a professional fight with a string of conditions.<\/a><\/p>\n

Tyson, 58, has not fought professionally since 2005 but says he is ready to knock Paul out.<\/p>\n

“I had a small adversity. I got sick, but I feel good. I’m just ready,” Tyson said at a joint news conference on Sunday. <\/p>\n

“He [Paul] may have been in the ring with people who have the same intentions, but the actuality, no.<\/p>\n

“As soon as I catch this guy it’s going to be totally over, he is going to run. He is going to run like a thief.”<\/p>\n

Though Tyson fought in an exhibition against fellow veteran Roy Jones Jr in 2020, Paul is 31 years his junior. <\/p>\n

Asked what his motivation was, Tyson said: “Because I can. Who else can do it but me? We have a YouTuber fighting the greatest fighter ever to live.”<\/p>\n

Paul, 27, has a 10-1 record in his career.<\/p>\n

“I love Mike and I respect him but we are not friends any more until 15 November,” Paul said. <\/p>\n

The fight will consist of eight, two-minute rounds and both fighters will wear 14oz gloves, rather than 10z gloves. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
