Mike Tyson has more on his mind than just defeating Jake Paul ahead of their boxing match on Friday night.

“My intentions are to hurt Jake Paul. Those are my intentions. I’m very serious about this,” Tyson said on the Let’s Go! podcast (11:50 mark).

Get ready for fight night with Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson — premiering November 7.

The three-part series takes you behind the scenes of the intense preparations of Jake Paul and Mike Tyson ahead of their highly anticipated showdown. LIVE on Netflix November 15 at 8PM ET / 5PM PT.… pic.twitter.com/Udf0rWW6SF

The anticipated fight has faced several delays after health concerns have postponed it, but at last, 27-year-old Jake “The Problem Child” Paul and 58-year-old “Iron” Mike Tyson will take the ring in less than five days.

Tyson retired in 2005. This will mark just his third return to the ring since then.

The highly anticipated comeback is something that Tyson has fed off, with many calling him a “glory junkie.”

“It’s just who I am. This right here is glory,” Tyson said. “Selling out a 90,000-seat stadium, the whole world is just focusing on this particular situation right now. That’s glory to me. My name is in everybody’s mouth right now.”

The spotlight is undoubtedly on Tyson and former YouTuber Paul as they enter a busy week of press junkets in preparation for the big night.

The main card will begin at 8 p.m. ET on Netflix, live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
