Tyson is training hard in preparation for the professionally-sanctioned bout and shared a video of himself working out.
Iron Mike showed off his muscles while performing gruelling neck exercises to prove he is ready to take any punches.
And he also had time to fire a warning at the opponent 31 years his junior, captioning the clip: “While Jake keeps talking, I’m going to keep training. Going to f*** him up.”
Fans were impressed by his physique, with one saying: “Call off the fight, champ. You’ve already won.”
Another added: “Young men fight. Old men kill.”
A third reacted: “The neck looks crazy. Like old Mike.”
Despite the fight going on both their pro records, the rules have been modified after Tyson supposedly requested shorter, two-minute rounds and bigger 14oz gloves to be allowed.
Paul hit back after agreeing to the changes, telling The Daily Mail: “He’s like, ‘Watch your shape, watch your shape’. I’m like, ‘Alright, but you watch it’.

“It could be to his advantage. I think it is also smart that he is doing that. I’m fighting on all of his rules and what he wanted.
“He wanted it to be a pro fight. He wanted eight, two-minute rounds. So I’m giving him everything he wants.
“I’m going to his playground, and I’m going to beat his a**. I mean, it’s just being alert and knowing what to do in that situation.”
The fight will take place at the 80,000-seater AT&T Stadium in Texas, with Netflix broadcasting the bout.
