Mike Tyson has confessed that he'd prefer to die in the ring than in a hospital if things go wrong in his forthcoming face-off with Jake Paul next month.
The ex-world champion hasn't participated in a professional bout since his defeat to Kevin McBride in 2005. Although he officially retired that night, Tyson made a comeback to the ring four years ago for an exhibition match with fellow boxing icon Roy Jones Jr.
As for Paul, the 27-year-old is preparing to enter the ring for the third time this year. After triumphing over former UFC fighter Mike Perry in his previous match 'The Problem Child' is confident of adding another big name to his list of victories.
With a record of 10-1, his sole loss in the sport of boxing was to Tommy Fury last year.
