And making his return this weekend, Tyson stepped on the scale this morning ahead of the ceremonial weigh ins – appearing in spectacular shape for his age, with the official weights of both himself, and opponent Paul revealed tonight.

Planning a quickfire win over the outspoken Ohio native tomorrow night in ‘The Lone Star State’, Tyson pointed to his career-best 8-second knockout win earlier in his boxing tenure – vowing to dispatch the brash opponent inside just two minutes in Texas.

“My intention is to knock him (Jake Paul) out… My quickest knockout is eight seconds,” Mike Tyson told TMZ during an interview ahead of his boxing return. “So that’s okay… I’m not a psychic but he will be sleeping.”

Himself turning in his tenth career win earlier this summer, YouTuber and social media influencer, Paul managed to stop former UFC welterweight contender, Mike Perry with an eventual sixth round knockout in Florida.
