Fans think Mike Tyson has 'returned' after seeing footage of him and Jake Paul at an NFL game ahead of their blockbuster fight.

The professional heavyweight bout between Paul and Tyson is scheduled for November 15 following the cancellation of their original meeting in the summer.

Paul vs. Tyson will be aired on Netflix, with the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, set to stage the clash.

And ahead of their showdown, Paul and Tyson visited the home of the Dallas Cowboys for an NFL fixture to promote their upcoming fight.

During the game, Paul and Tyson were beamed on the big screen and fans noticed the boxing icon's ice-cold demeanour.

The 58-year-old cut a stoic figure while 'The Problem Child' was in a playful mood and made a throat-slitting gesture.



Needless to say, the interaction between the two fighting stars got fans on social media talking.

One X user wrote: "Mike Tyson was losing to bottom level heavyweights a long time ago. This fight is a terrible idea."

A second said: "Tyson is starting to think he didn't get paid high enough to put up with Jake."

A third added: "Mike thinking if this is all worth tainting his legacy for."

A fourth commented: "He is getting his mindset ready. Jake is a clown."

Another joked: "Mike wants to bite his head off never-mind his ear."

Tyson suffered an ulcer flare that forced him to withdraw from their July 20 date.

Paul fought former UFC fighter and Bare Knuckle FC star Mike Perry instead and claimed a big stoppage victory.

The former world heavyweight champion hasn't fought in a pro setting since June 2005 when he lost to Ireland's Kevin McBride.

But he returned to action in November 2020 when he faced fellow boxing great Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition.
