Tyson’s mum Lorna, who passed away from cancer in 1982
It will be Tyson’s first professional fight in almost 20 YEARS – but he remains unfazed by the task at hand.
He told talkSPORT: “I see him running around, I have to catch him and slaughter him.
“No, [I don’t fear him] because he stepped into the ring. If my mother steps in the ring, she has a problem with me.
“Whoever’s in that ring, they have a problem. Don’t go in the ring if you don’t want that problem.”
Tyson’s mum Lorna actually passed away from cancer in 1982 when the boxing legend was just 16.
He was raised by his trainer and mentor Cus D’Amato and the coach’s wife Camille Ewald.
But D’Amato also died in 1985 just a year before Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion of all time aged only 20.
That kickstarted Iron Mike’s run as the Baddest Man on The Planet, which involved two title reigns.
But he threw the towel in on his career in 2005 after quitting on his stool against Kevin McBride, who also works as a tree surgeon.
Tyson did return for a 2020 exhibition with American great Roy Jones Jr – but it was nothing but a glorified sparring session between two icons.
Now he will put his illustrious record on the line against 10-1 Paul – who only debuted in 2020.
It has been professionally sanctioned over eight two-minute rounds – opposed to the usual three – with bigger 14oz gloves to be worn.
Tyson will also have to undertake additional brain and heart tests due to his age after pulling out of the initial July 20 date due to a health precaution.
He suffered an ulcer flare-up in his stomach during a flight but was later passed medically fit to resume training.
And he talked down Paul’s chances of victory when probed on the controversial 30-YEAR age gap between them.
He said: “He’s a good little fighter, but he only has [11] fights. That’s considered an amateur in our field.”
