And it is sure to be a battle of Paul's youth against Tyson's experience, leaving fans split.

Despite the 30-year age gap, intrigue has surrounded the fight for the ages with even Tyson's ex-opponent Lewis wading in.

Lewis - boxing's last undisputed heavyweight champion - shared a simulation of the bout with UFC video game footage.

Tyson - a playable character in the game - takes on a custom-made Paul and savagely knocks him out with his first punch.

And fans of Iron Mike are hoping it is a glimpse into the future as one said: "I pray this is exactly how it goes."

Another added: ";This is what I’m hoping for."

One joked: "Pretty much what we all hoping for."

Lewis himself said: "Not quite sure how that will go but it could be something like this."

Tyson, 57, retired in 2005 only to return in 2020 for an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr, which ended in an eight-round draw.

Meanwhile Paul is 9-1 as a boxer who suffered his only defeat to Tommy Fury, 24, in February 2023 and has won three since.
