Mike Tyson has released threatening combat images that have some fans fearing for Jake Paul before his long -awaited fight.
The former world heavyweight champion, 58, takes on YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on November 15.
The fight was originally scheduled for July, just for Tyson to suffer a medical emergency on an plane. A ‘ulcer outbreak’ saw Tyson become nausea and dizziness before the paramedics then arrived on board.
But Tyson, once considered “the most bad man on the planet”, again training for the rescheduled clash, his first fight sanctioned for two decades.
Earlier this week, the 58-year-old posted a short clip of their sparring sessions. In the video, Tyson can be seen backing his sparring partner against the ropes.

Tyson’s sparring partner fell against the ropes after a left hook from ‘Iron Mike’
The former heavyweight champion lands a left hook that sees his opponent fall towards the canvas.
That leads his coach to stop Sparring, for frustration of an excited Tyson.
Are you screwed for sure? The 58-year-old screams. “I have a lot in me, I’m just getting started.”
Tyson is a big underdog against Paul, who is more than 30 years his junior. But the clip has convinced some fight fans that ‘Iron Mike’ can upset the odds.
“The passion in his voice tells me how much he loves it,” one said.
Imagine a world where 58-year-old Mike Tyson knocks out Jake Paul. That would be beautiful,’ another added.
