Mike Tyson is in ‘war mode’ as his crossover clash with Jake Paul edges closer.

The former undisputed heavyweight champion is set to square off with Paul on November 15 in a professional heavyweight clash.

Tyson hasn’t competed in the paid ranks since being retired on his stool by Kevin McBride in 2005.

But ‘Iron Mike’ is determined to remind everyone of exactly who he is.

Tyson recently uploaded a clip of him smashing a sparring partner through the ropes and has followed that up with an eerie promo.

The 48-second black-and-white video opens with a shot of Tyson working out in the gym as a menacing track plays in the background.

As the music builds, some of Tyson’s most famous quotes flash up on the screen.

One reads: “Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but doing it like you love it.”

Meanwhile, there is also an excerpt of Tyson’s speech after his win over Lou Saverese in 2000: “I’m the best ever.

“I’m the most brutal and vicious, and most ruthless champion there’s ever been.”

Tyson then starts screaming at the camera before the video fades to black.

After watching the promo, boxing fans flooded the comment section to give their take on the intimidating upload.

One supporter wrote: “Finally, Mike is getting in war mode.”

Another added: “The world is not ready to see this version of Mike Tyson.”

A third commented: “This is the Mike we need.”

A fourth posted: “Mike looks scary, this gonna be one hell of a fight.”

Meanwhile, somebody else remarked: “Ya’ll forgetting the reason why Tyson lost to McBride and the other guys during the end of his career, it’s because he lost the will to fight. And damn he looked excited asf for the Paul fight.”

Tyson will have to be at his best if he hopes to beat Paul.

‘The Problem Child’ is in his physical prime at 27 and has been actively competing in the sport for the last five years while Tyson recently celebrated his 58th birthday.
