58-year-old Mike Tyson wants to give it all in the ring in his upcoming fight against Jake Paul.

Next month, Tyson will face off the much younger Paul in a fight that will air live on Netflix.

Ahead of the fight, NetFlix will air three behind-the-scenes countdown episodes to promote the fight.

In the trailer for the Paul-Tyson countdown, Tyson told NetFlix that he would prefer to die in the ring than in the hospital after suffering a medical setback that forced the fight to be postponed for 4 months.

“I don’t want to die in the hospital, I want to die in the ring” says Tyson in the trailer.

Despite the medical issues, Tyson looks crisp in the ring and recently went viral when he knocked down his sparring partner in training.

Episodes 1 + 2 of Tyson-Paul countdown will premiere on November 7; Episode 3 will premiere on November 12.
