The boxing world was outraged by the scheduling of the fight due to 31 YEARS age difference between the couple.

But former undisputed heavyweight champion Lewis, 58, has suggested he wants to teach Problem Child a lesson after he knocked Tyson down.

He said Fox 29 Philadelphia:”That’s a good question. I hope Tyson saves some money Jake Paulo for me.”

Lewis hung up his gloves in 2004, a year after his bloody victory over Vitali Klitschko.

But after years of insisting his fighting days are over, he recently opened the door to a shock return to the ring.

He said The Guardian: “As my friend says, I’m not stupid.

“I was seeing if I could catch you outside.

“For me, money he speaks, [..] walk in. That’s what I’m saying. I would consider that 100 percent.”

Fears for Tyson’s safety grew after a medical emergency last month forced the fight to be postponed.

Lewis, however, is confident that his former opponent will harm Paul.

He said: “Mike Tyson is going to win. Mike Tyson is not that old.

“Don’t take him too seriously. We are a year apart.

“You can fight someone like that and do well because the person you’re fighting is not a real fighter and there are hundreds of things you’ve forgotten that he’s learning.”

Paul’s crossover clash with Tyson could come to an end at the hands of former UFC welterweight Mike Perry, who he has agreed to fight to stay active.

And the YouTube sensation knows he’s taking a risk, saying, “Now, as I prepare for the fight against Iron Mike, there is no better opponent for me than Mike Perry.

“He is a proven knockout artist who has shown himself to be a maniac in and out of the ring.

“This is the perfect experience for me to gain before facing Mike Tyson.”

” He continued, “But getting that experience comes with risks.

“Those who know me know that I take risks and although ‘Platinum’ Perry may try to finish me off, I am Titanium Jake Paul and I am not afraid of anyone.

“I’m going to take the W and give everyone a preview of what I’m going to bring to the ring against Mike Tyson.

“Tune in DAZN PPV while I return to Tampa and send ‘Platinum’ Perry the Platypus back to the force for good.”
