60,000 fans are expected to pack out the AT&T Stadium to see if the former world champion still has what it takes to compete inside the squared circle.
Much has been made of the 58-year-old's descision to take on Paul, but Tyson's former trainer has warned the former YouTube star to be wary of his legendary opponent because he can still pack a punch.
“I tell you one thing, early on, Jake better be alert the first couple of rounds,” Atlas said in an interview with Pro Boxing Fans.
“Because one thing that a former great fighter like Tyson can do is still punch. The power is the last thing to leave you. The power is the last thing to leave you, and if Jake gets careless early on and Tyson comes out there firing the way that he used to fire, and he can do it for a couple of rounds, it could be interesting.”
Tyson had to pull out of the original fight date due to an inflamed ulcer, but Altas believes the former world champion must be in good enough health for his camp to allow him to go ahead with Friday night's rescheduled bout.
“Obviously he’s OK, and that’s good,” he added.
“That’s his choice, his family’s choice. He knows if he can come back. Obviously, it’s something that he overcame physically. It wasn’t that serious. Obviously, he’s of good health.
“The people around him believe he’s of good health. I have to believe he’s of good health. He’s 58 years old. Not too many guys who would be getting in the ring at 58, but it’s not a normal professional fight. The circumstances are a little different.”
