MIKE TYSON has sent Jake Paul another chilling message ahead of their crossover clash.
The former undisputed heavyweight champion throws down with The Problem Child in a controversial Texas tussle this coming Friday.
The pair were due to throw down in July but their Dallas dust-up was postponed after Tyson suffered a medical emergency on board a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.
Paul, 27, chose to stay active, knocking out former UFC welterweight Mike Perry before sending Tyson a menacing post-fight message.
Iron Mike watched the fight from the comfort of his home and had some chilling choice words for the YouTube sensation.
The 58-year-old said: “There is a fundamental difference between me and Jake. He’s a manufactured killer.

“I’m a natural-born killer. That’s the difference.”
Footage of Tyson’s harrowing message to Paul spread like wildfire on social media, with one boxing fan saying: “He meant that with every being of his soul too.
“What a fight it will be.”

Another said: “That scared me and I’m not even fighting… yeah it’s over.”
And another said: “Look into Mike’s eyes. It’s looking into the eyes of a shark.”
One remarked: “Mike looks old but when he gets in that mode I see the look in his eye he got that spark still.
“He’s not joking when he says he’s a NBK… but I’m just afraid father time will overcome that.”
Another chimed in: “This message from Mike Tyson to Jake Paul is one of the coldest I’ve ever heard.”
Fan favourite Tyson has been hard at work in the gym ahead of his ring return and looks in stunning shape for the Netflix clash.
And the near pensioner-aged puncher is open to more fights after he trades heavy leather with Paul.
When recently asked whether he plans to fight again, the New York native told talkSPORT: “It’s a possibility.”
