    Yes, boxing’s youngest heavyweight champ of all time – just 20 when he achieved the feat – is preparing to lace them up again.

I hate not not being able to sleep with my wife but I’m doing it like I love it.”During Tyson’s volatile heyday, he is said to have enjoyed having sex in his locker room only moments before fighting.That is despite the long-standing belief in boxing that abstinence helps boost testosterone which is why several restrain from sex while training.And Tyson – who married his third wife in 2009 – once admitted to smoking £33,000 worth of weed a MONTH.He was last seen in the ring in 2020 for an exhibition drawn over eight rounds with fellow great Roy Jones Jr.Meanwhile Paul is 9-1 as a boxer who suffered his only defeat to Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy in February 2023.READ MORE SUN STORIESBut he has won three since and vowed to put friendship aside to score the biggest win of his career against Tyson.Paul, 27, said on DAZN: “Uncle Mike, I love you, you’re looking amazing but there can only be one winner and I’m sorry but I’ve got to end you.”Tyson married Lakiha Spicer in 2009Credit: GettyJake Paul and Mike Tyson facing offCredit: @jakepaul More
