However, there are some odd medical tests that Tyson needs to complete before entering the ring, which could put the battle at risk.
The former world heavyweight champion will have to submit to a battery of electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (EKG) tests in order for the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR) to evaluate his level of physical condition.

Additionally, Tyler has given his impending opponent another message on SnapChat.
He was seen in close-up, his face drenched in perspiration, and the caption read, “Everyone has a plan ’til they”—the opening line of Tyson’s catchphrase about strategy being thrown out the window when one gets hit in the face.
Second, Tyson uploaded a second photo of himself using the pads along with the words, “All eyes on me.”
Rafael Cordeiro, Tyson’s trainer, thinks Paul will sense Iron Mike’s “heavy hands” and that the battle will be “technical” rather than a “massacre.”
In an interview with MMA Fighting, Cordeiro stated, “We have a kid on the other side that can box and isn’t afraid, so this fight won’t be a bloodbath; it’s going to be a really tactical match.”
Mike’s hands are so heavy that it will be hard to avoid touching Jake. There’s no other way for Jake to feel Mike’s hands, and that’s when we’ll know how the fight will proceed. It should be intriguing to see.
“Panic—Paul will experience panic. That is the objective. Our intention is to keep Jake terrified the whole time. or for however long he can tolerate it.
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations will decide whether Tyler’s encounter with Paul qualifies, and in order for the fight to happen, Tyler must pass a mental exam.
