But organisers – including streaming platform Netflix – turned a blind eye to reschedule the bout. Paul, 27, and Tyson, 58, are set to share a huge $80million (£60m) cash pot as Netflix mark their first move into live boxing. So while millions are expected to watch the fight for the ages – promoter Hearn fears it will come at the cost of boxing’s reputation.

That will not be the case – so we’re told – this time around as he prepares to fight Paul in a professionally sanctioned bout. Both will be subjected to drug testing while Tyson must take additional brain and heart exams due to his age. Paul is 10-1 with only a 2023 points defeat to Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy, 25, blemishing his record. And he plans to put love and respect aside to KO boxing hero Tyson – something Hearn and every other fan dreads. He said: “It’s just a different world isn’t it?
