Tyson has been preparing for his first professional fight in almost 20 YEARS with MMA coach Rafael Cordeiro.

And he has been doing so in a brand new gym in Vegas on a property owned by warehouse owned by Las Vegas Raiders boss Mark Davis.

The gym is based near the Raiders’ training HQ headquarters in Henderson, Nevada.

Tyson’s brother-in-law Azim Spicer told USA Today: “Mark Davis is a friend of Mike’s.

“Mark was super helpful in allowing us to utilize this space temporarily.

“His team has been awesome assisting us with the best vendors to build out Mike’s vision.”

Tyson’s wife Lakiha – who he married in 2009 – is said to have designed the gym herself.

It is a scaled down version of the boxing club the boxing icon owns in Saudi Arabia.

Tyson was last in the ring for a 2020 exhibition with Roy Jones Jr which ended in a draw.

His boxing career officially ended in 2005 following dismal defeats to Danny Williams and Kevin McBride, who is now a tree surgeon.

But he will prepare to put his illustrious record on the line following the news his bout with Paul is to be officially sanctioned.

But there will be revised rules, with the pair fighting in bigger 14oz gloves opposed to 10oz and over eight, two not three minute rounds.

Paul is 9-1 as a boxer having suffered defeat only to Tyson Fury’s 25-year-old brother Tommy in Saudi Arabia last year.

But the American, 27, has won three times since and prepares to face Tyson in his first heavyweight fight.
