At 57 years old, Tyson continues to defy the odds and prove that age is just a number as he prepares to step back into the ring to face the 27-year-old Paul on July 20, with the event set to be broadcast live on Netflix.

The stark 30-year age difference between the two fighters has stirred controversy within the boxing community, but Tyson‘s chiseled physique and unwavering determination serve as a testament to his readiness for the challenge ahead.

During the meet-and-greet event held in Chantilly, Virginia, Tyson left fans in awe as he proudly posed shirtless, exuding confidence and determination in equal measure. His physical condition, reminiscent of his glory days, left no doubt about his commitment to making a triumphant return to the ring.

“I don’t need a shirt,” Tyson said.

“I have to show them what they are betting on! I want to show off how good I look, how in shape I am!”

Tyson‘s journey in boxing began in 1986 when he clinched the heavyweight title at the tender age of 20, etching his name in the annals of sports history as the youngest champion ever. Despite retiring from professional boxing in 2005, Tyson‘s passion for the sport remains undiminished, as evidenced by his exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020.

“I have a weird personality – I don’t think it’s weird though,” Tyson told FoxNews.

“Whatever I’m afraid to do, I do it. That’s how it is. I was afraid of the Roy fight. I was 100lbs overweight, I was however old, 54, 53, and I said, ‘Let’s do it.’

“Anything I’m afraid of, I confront it. That’s my personality. Right now, I’m scared to death. I always believed that adversity and nervousness pretty much catapulted me into success.

“If I didn’t have these feelings, I wouldn’t go into this fight. I have to have these feelings to fight. Without them, I would never go in the ring.”
