Tyson and Paul will throw up the Dukes Friday night in Arlington, Texas. And Mike Tyson calls it the largest fight of his career.

“On Friday night, they can look forward to seeing that man Jake Paul get severely beaten,” Tyson told TMZ on Tuesday. “My intention is to knock him out.”

“There’s never been a fight this big,” Tyson added.

For a man who headlined major fights in the late 80s, Tyson sounds crazy considering an online influencer wearing boxing gloves as his biggest opponent.

Does ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ still have what it takes?

At 58, Tyson is bracing himself for eight two-minute rounds against Jake Paul, a 27-year-old who has made a fortune through internet fame.

Standard boxing matches range between 10 and 12 rounds of three minutes each.

Paul is not a serious fighter, but somehow getting a win over the mighty Mike Tyson has to have some value.

As OutKick’s Sean Joseph wrote, even Paul’s girlfriend warns her husband not to treat Tyson like a pushover. Tyson is a dog that can still hunt.

The Tyson vs. Paul fight was originally scheduled for July 20, but was ultimately postponed after the legend suffered a brief medical episode during a flight.

Tyson even said he was going to die in the ring fighting Jake Paul.

The main card at AT&T Stadium starts at 8:00 PM (ET).
