Mike Tyson has sent Jake Paul a warning in the first video he has released since his health scare.

Earlier this week, the fight between YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul and former world heavyweight champion Tyson was rescheduled, with the controversial contest set to take place in Texas on November 15.

The AT&T Stadium will also see Ireland's Katie Taylor, the undisputed women's light-welterweight world champion, fight in the co-main event against Puerto Rico's Amanda Serrano.

The bouts had been scheduled to take place on July 20, but Tyson, who will turn 58 later this month, was forced to pull out on medical advice after an ulcer flare-up.

"Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly. I am thankful to the medical staff that treated me," Tyson said in a statement. “While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight. Jake Paul is getting knocked out."

In a post on social media, Paul wrote: "New date, same place, same fate."

In a similar vein to his opponent, Tyson has now posted a video on social media promoting the bout, in which he said: “Different date. Same fate. I’m going to knock out Jake Paul.”

Tyson has not fought professionally since 2005 but last stepped in the ring for an exhibition bout in 2020 against Roy Jones Jr.

However, he is one of the most lauded boxers in history, having become the first heavyweight to hold the WBA, WBC and IBF heavyweight titles.

His reign as unified champion came to a shock end in 1990 after he was beaten by Buster Douglas.

Meanwhile, Paul has won nine of his 10 fights, mostly against former UFC fighters. His sole defeat came against British boxer Tommy Fury in February last year.
