Mike Tyson wants to turn back the clock. The visuals of him entering the ring with an ominous sound and then doing a demolition job on his opponents are still fresh in the fans’ memories. The American fighter wants to replicate the same when he steps into the ring against Jake Paul.

Tyson, 58, will trade punches with Paul, 27, when the two will meet inside the squared circle on November 15 at AT&T Arena in Arlington. As the former world champion making his return to the professional circle after close to the absence of 2 decades, there are doubts about his health. His ulcer flare-up incident even derailed the fight, which was originally scheduled for May. But Tyson, at 50-6, has now put himself in a different league than boxers of his age.

In a conversation with FOX 4, ‘Iron Mike’ explained how he had been training consistently. He said, “You can’t compare me with other people my age. Because the other people my age haven’t been training as long as me. As consistent as me. I’m just a different species of human being.” Interestingly, he had admitted to Jimmy Kimmel that he was training 6 hours a day. Therefore, the former world champion has the confidence to rack up another knockout win.

Mike Tyson continued, “I’m going in there with bad intentions. My intention is to hurt this young man [Jake Paul]. [The fans] won’t believe the spectacle that’s gonna happen. It’s gonna be something they’ve never experienced before, as far as pain is concerned.”

The training clips of the Brooklyn native have also supported his promise, as the fans have witnessed him launching thunderous punches on the punching bags and dropping his sparring partner recently. However, his age and health concerns also pose a serious threat and could cripple his chances and do substantial damage to his body. That’s the reason, ‘Kid Dynamite’ has expressed disturbing claims of death too.

Netflix, which is set to stream the fight, is also expanding its coverage, as it announced a ‘Countdown’ series. It’s a three-part documentary series that will cover the behind-the-scenes of the fight, including the training camps and preparation for the fight. After the tailer’s launch, Tyson expressed the fight’s importance and declared, “This is really big for me. If I win, I’ll be immortal. If I do it bad, I don’t want to die in a hospital bed. I want to die in the ring.”

The fans have already floated the speculations of Tyson not being able to match up with ‘Problem Child’ speed and stamina. In addition, his struggles with hip surgery and sciatica might only add to their concerns. But the ‘Baddest Man on Planet’ has shunned these conjectures and continues to train hard for the fight. It remains to be seen how he fares in the fight and whether he collects a knockout win.
