The pair were due to throw down in July but their Dallas dust-up was postponed after Tyson suffered a medical emergency on board a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.

Paul, 27, chose to stay active, knocking out former UFC welterweight Mike Perry before sending Tyson a menacing post-fight message.

Iron Mike watched the fight from the comfort of his home and had some chilling choice words for the YouTube sensation.

The 58-year-old said: "There is a fundamental difference between me and Jake. He's a manufactured killer.
