The two men were initially due to face each other in July.
But the date was postponed after Tyson suffered a health problem just weeks before.
The former heavyweight king claimed to have an “ulcer flare-up” after being taken ill on a flight.
And some feel the 58-year-old, who has not had a sanction fight in two decades, is risking his health against 28-year-old Paul.
Now, Tyson has sparked more concern after admitting he would rather “die in the ring” than a hospital bed.
The icon acknowledges the threat he faces in Paul, who has suffered just one defeat in 10 pro bouts.
And Tyson reckons he will be “immortal” if he ends up securing victory at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Speaking in a Netflix clip, Tyson said: “I don’t do anything if I don’t risk being embarrassed. Like now I want to fight this young motherf****r.

“This is really big for me, if I win I will be immortal. If I do it bad, I don’t want to die in a hospital bed, I want to die in the ring.”
Tyson was also praised by adviser Gene Kilroy, who used to be the manager of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali.
Kilroy said to Tyson: “This is the strongest I’ve ever seen you and I’ve known you since you were 13. This impressed the s**t out of me, nothing impresses me.
“I’m proud of you Mike, you’ve done more workouts than what I saw you do when you fought Lennox Lewis.
“Different era brother, it’s a whole new ball game.”
