The showdown was first announced back in March and had been intended to take place in July.
However, the clash was postponed after Tyson suffered a health scare – with the boxing icon hospitalised with an ulcer flare up.
Fast-forward to now, however, and he’s insisted he’s fit and raring to go.
And whether the 58-year-old can add to his pro record of 50 victories remains to be seen, with Tyson currently the underdog given his age.

Meanwhile, Tyson left fans stunned after slapping Paul during the weigh-in before the bout.
And Paul dubbed his opponent an ‘angry little elf’ in the aftermath, with the boxing star making it clear he was unfazed.
“I didn’t even feel it. He’s angry. He’s an angry little elf,” he said.
“Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap, buddy, but tomorrow you’re getting knocked out.”

Tyson said Paul stood on his toes, which sparked his angry reaction.
“I was in my socks and he had on shoes,” said the veteran.
“He stepped on my toe because he is a f***ing a**hole. I wanted to think it happened by accident. But now I think it may have happened on purpose.
“I was in a lot of pain. I had to reciprocate.”
