Tyson was left feeling nauseous and dizzy in the 57-year-old’s latest health scare.
He has suffered from sciatica for several years, which has left him using a cane and even a wheelchair on occasion.
But Paul has ruled out claims his fight with Tyson was canceled following his opponent’s latest health scare just weeks before their ring clash.
This came after several boxing fan accounts on social media reported that the fight had been cancelled.
Paul responded to X, tweeting: “You love making shit up before you know the facts about clicks/likes. Nothing has changed #PaulTyson”
Tyson is 31 years older than Paul and UFC commentator Joe Rogan fears he will die after facing the YouTuber.
Tyson, however, sought to dispel fears for his safety with a series of clips of him ferociously hitting the pads.
He also sent a chilling warning to his opponent, saying: “When he’s in that ring, he’s going to have to fight like his life depends on it.

Tyson also branded Paul “fat” after he made heavyweight, with Paul confessing he is now struggling to run.
He said: “There’s definitely a little more power, but I think the most important thing is the infighting and the clinches, and not getting pushed around by some of these heavyweights.
“Definitely, when I’m running, I slow down a lot. I feel like a rhino or something, it’s definitely a lot harder to run.
“Everything has been good, but it was a small transition to heavyweight.
“I definitely needed to gain weight so I could compete with Mike Tyson and so he couldn’t throw me in the ring. We have been fighting heavy weights and eating more.
“Mike Tyson called me fat, but I believe the fat will turn into muscle, and on fight night I believe I will be able to move and dance in the ring like a true heavyweight.”
