Mike Tyson and Jake Paul collide on July 20th at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington,Texas.
A version of ‘Iron Mike’ returns to the ring for the first time in nearly four years and professionally since 2005.
Much has been made of the huge age-gap between the pair but boxing legend, Lennox Lewis still believes if Tyson connects then Paul is in trouble.

Speaking to The Guardian he said: “I’m concerned for Jake Paul. Tyson still knows how to punch, as you can see when he’s hitting a bag.

“If Jake Paul gets hit by one of those punches, he’s going to feel it. I know Jake Paul doesn’t want to get hit.
“Tyson comes forward and he knows how to cut off the ring. It could be a matter of time, as how good is Jake Paul’s defence?
“I saw Mike a couple of weeks ago and he looked good. He was walking around without a shirt and showing off his body so he’s getting ready.”
There has been some speculation that Lewis himself could return to the ring for an exhibition bout and he hasn’t ruled it out.
He said: “Yeah, they do. But, as my friend says, I ain’t no fool.
“I was seeing if I could catch you out there. For me, money talks, bulls**** walks…
“That’s what I’m saying. I’d 100 per cent consider it.”
Would you like Lewis to return? Let us know in the comments.
