Boxing legend Mike Tyson’s fight against Jake Paul was pushed, but the 58-year-old is still set to go against the YouTuber-turned-boxer on Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium. 

Tyson made an appearance on Paul’s older brother, Logan Paul’s, podcast where he discussed a side of himself that has to come out during his fight against Paul, but he never likes to see it.

Tyson says "the killer" side of him usually ends up with him in handcuffs, but it’ll be coming out in the ring.

"Absolutely, that’s gonna happen, but here is what I learned from prior experience — when that tough guy Mike Tyson comes out when it’s not necessary to come out, I’m always in handcuffs," Tyson said on "Impaulsive."

"So, I’m always careful when that guy comes out. Every time I drink or get ready to fight, I break out in handcuffs."

Tyson further elaborated on that dark side of himself. 

"Unfortunately, I have to fight and be that guy," he explained. "I wish I could stop that guy. That guy haunts me. I wish I could stop that guy. I wish that guy died, but he’s here to stay."
