Mike Tyson takes on Jake Paul on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The fight was rescheduled due to Iron Mike’s ulcer flare-up back in July and now takes place next month.
Tyson’s last professional outing came back in 2005 when he suffered a crushing defeat to Irishman Kevin McBride.
However, he did step foot in the ring four years ago when he took on Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition contest.

Tyson’s recent health scares and his age have led many to criticise his fight with Paul but former rival Lennox Lewis believes Tyson could take the win if he is in shape.
“I would hope he would go into a fight where he would win. He’s a boxer, he knows how to protect himself, he knows how to throw body shots, he knows how to cut off the ring,” said Lewis when speaking to TMZ Sports .
“He is younger than me so it really depends on his mobility, whether he can move fast around the ring when he’s going after a younger guy. We will have to see.
“I haven’t seen him lately to know if he can take it, but I have seen him looking muscular, so of course he can take it if he is in good shape.”
Lewis and Tyson famously went head-to-head back in 2002, with the Brit going on to win via knockout in the eighth round,
