Tyson: "I Wish 'Iron Mike' Was Dead"

Former undisputed world champion Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) revealed that during his preparation for the fight against YouTuber and boxer Jake Paul (10-1, 7 KOs), his second persona, "Iron Mike," has resurfaced.

"I'm always cautious when this guy wakes up. Every time I drink or prepare for a fight, 'Iron Mike' comes back, I break free from the chains.

Unfortunately, I have to fight and be that guy. I wish I could stop him. He haunts me. I wish that guy was dead, but here he is again," Tyson said.

The 8-round exhibition match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will take place on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, USA. The fight was initially scheduled for July 20 but was postponed due to Tyson suffering from a stomach ulcer flare-up.

The event is officially sanctioned as a professional bout in the heavyweight division (over 90.7 kg), and the result will be recorded in both fighters' professional records. The event will be streamed live on Netflix.
