"Keep staring I know I'm beautiful," Tyson captioned the photo on Instagram . The former world heavyweight champion, who will turn 58 in June, is set to return to the ring against 27 year old Paul the following month. This follows a tense face-off in Texas on Thursday evening.
At one point, with Tyson's back turned, Paul mimicked pulling out a gun and shooting at his rival. The bout on July 20 will mark Tyson's first since an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr in 2020. His last professional fight was nearly two decades ago, when he was defeated by Kevin McBride in June 2005.
