Mike Tyson is still promising to render Jake Paul unconscious when the two finally meet in the ring on November 15.
The former undisputed heavyweight champion was initially slated to face Paul, 27, on July 20 in a controversial bout three weeks after his 58th birthday.
However, after suffering a medical emergency on a recent flight from Miami to Los Angeles, ‘Iron’ Mike was forced to pull out of the summer contest and rearrange his clash with the YouTuber-turned-fighter for later this year.
Despite his health scare delaying it for just under four months, Tyson remains supremely confident of winning by knockout on the new November date.
In a chilling video message, the boxing legend warned Paul after their fight was officially rescheduled: ‘Different date, same fate. Imma knockout Jake Paul.’

Mike Tyson is still promising to render Jake Paul unconscious when they meet on November 15
Tyson is said to have become nauseous and dizzy on his recent cross-country flight due to an ulcer flare up, forcing airline staff to ask passengers if there was a doctor on board.
Paramedics later boarded the plane to treat him after it had touched down in LA.
Sources claimed the cabin crew ‘issued an announcement asking for a doctor 30 minutes before landing and the message even came on everyone’s screens.’
‘He was in first class, but we were an exit row,’ an eyewitness added.
‘They asked us to stay on the plane and landed so paramedics could enter. [The stewardess] said something like, “He’s a really important passenger so we wanna make sure he’s OK.” I knew it was him, but I just mouthed the words “Mike Tyson” and she nodded her head yes.’
Once the plane landed at LAX, there was another delay of around 25 minutes while the paramedics treated Tyson.

Tyson was initially slated to face Paul on July 20, only for their Netflix bout to be rearranged for November 15 after the boxing legend’s recent health scare
Given many were uncomfortable with it going ahead beforehand, Tyson’s health scare has sparked even more concern over the fight icon’s safety heading into the rearranged date with Paul.
UFC President Dana White has branded the contest ‘f****ng ridiculous’ while highlighting the worrying age gap between the two men.
‘God, no,’ White said, when asked if he had anything to do with it.
‘When this fight happens, Tyson will be 58 f***ing years old. A f***ing almost 60-year-old man shouldn’t be fighting a 27-year-old guy. Under any circumstances. Even if it’s Mike Tyson. It’s just f***king ridiculous,’ he continued.
