Tyson, 58, is the betting underdog but even with the oddsmakers against him the American icon puts his reputation on the line.

And he refused to entertain the the tiniest notion of losing to The Problem Child Paul.

He said: “I’m not going to lose.”

Probed on an unthinkable defeat further, Tyson snapped back: “I am not going to lose. Did you hear what I said?”

The frosty exchange left fans at home petrified, as one said: “Mike not playing!”

Another added: “Seeing the old Mike come out… this is what we all want to see Friday night. The beast tearing it up.”

Tyson returns for the first time as a professional since 2005 when he quit on his stool and threw the towel in on his career.

He did have a 2020 exhibition bout with fellow great Roy Jones Jr – but this time he is back for real.

Tyson, 58, takes on Paul, 27, over eight two-minute rounds – opposed to the usual three – with bigger 14oz gloves on instead of 10oz.

The reformed Baddest Man on The Planet said little on stage just two days before fight night.

And Paul hit out: “He says he’s going to kill me. Is that what you’re going to do, Mike? Because I’m ready, I want that killer.

“I want the hardest match possible Friday night and I don’t want there to be any excuses from everyone at home when I knock him out.”

Tyson, barely moving a muscle, responded: “I’m just ready. That’s all I can say. I’m just ready.”

Charles Oliveira vs. Michael Chandler full fight video before UFC 309


If you want to get hyped for Charles Oliveira vs. Michael Chandler 2, look no further than their first meeting in 2021.

In May 2021, Oliveira (34-10 MMA, 22-10 UFC) and Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) put on one of the best lightweight title fights in UFC history, going toe-to-toe for a little over five action-packed minutes in the main event of UFC 262. After a rocky start, Oliveira put away Chandler in the end to become the new UFC lightweight champion.

Oliveira and Chandler rematch Saturday in the co-main event of UFC 309 – which takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York. Oliveira is coming off a close, title eliminator bout loss to Arman Tsarukyan in April. Meanwhile, Chanlder looks to bounce off a submission loss to Dustin Poirier.

Check out their 2021 championship fight in the video above.

Nations League: Northern Ireland ‘full of confidence’ before double-header

Nations League: Northern Ireland 'full of confidence' before double-header

Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill says his squad is “full of confidence” before their Nations League double-header against Belarus and Luxembourg.

O’Neill’s side sit top of League C Group 3 with seven points after two wins, one draw and one defeat from their four fixtures in the competition to date.

Last month O’Neill’s charges followed up a 0-0 draw in Belarus with a hugely impressive performance in a 5-0 victory over Bulgaria in Belfast.

Belarus visit Windsor Park on Friday night, with an away game against Luxembourg on Monday completing the campaign.

Finishing first in the group can help secure a route to the 2026 World Cup finals through play-off qualification.

“There’s a lot of positivity around the team, which is good. There’s a little bit of keeping people’s feet on the ground a little bit as well,” O’Neill told BBC Sport NI.

“You’re not going to go out and score five goals every time you play. As long as the team continue to do the right things, play with the same intensity, play with the same energy, get the crowd involved in the game, which is always very important in Belfast.

“This is a team that’s going to grow. The exciting time for this team is probably three or four years from now but they’ve got to a point where they’re winning games at international level and it’s a good habit for them to have.”

Paul vs. Tyson tickets: Find out how much it will cost you to get into the fights

Paul vs. Tyson tickets: Find out how much it will cost you to get into the fights

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are just days away from meeting in one of the most talked-about boxing events in recent history with the fight taking place at AT&T Stadium just outside Dallas.

The cavernous stadium, which usually serves as the home to the Dallas Cowboys, typically seats around 80,000 people but with additional seats on the field level, that number could balloon up to 100,000. For the upcoming card, Paul’s company Most Valuable Promotions decided to team up with ticket brokers at SeatGeek for sales rather than going through Ticketmaster.

A quick look at the map reveals that there are still plenty of tickets available to the event with seating anywhere from down on the floor close to the ring all the way up to the rafters in the nose bleeds.

The lowest priced regular seat is currently settling for $50 in section 408, which is the top level of AT&T Stadium. Most of the lower priced seats are actually in a few different sections on one half of the stadium. There is a single handicap seat available for $38, which is technically the lowest priced ticket available right now.

Now if you move down one section lower, tickets get a little pricier but still only around $90 each, depending on the row. The prices continue to vary as you get closer and closer to the ring.

As far as floor seats, there are still a smattering of tickets available but once again prices vary depending on location. The closet seat currently available that’s not a resale ticket sits in the fourth row — currently only one actually available — and that costs $7,500.

Scoot back four rows from almost the exact same vantage point and the price drops to $2,623 for the tickets currently available.

Based on the current map, there is actually one ringside seat available from Seatgeek as a special VIP package that costs a whopping $50,000. Another VIP package seated in the second row is going for $12,500 right now.

There are other VIP floor seats going for $20,000 for some tickets with others going as low as $3,500 if you’re willing to sit in the fifth row.

Now other resale sites like Ticketmaster and Stubhub could have different options available as far as ringside or floor seats.

It also must be noted that as the event draws closer and organizers look for a sold out crowd, ticket prices could potentially change, especially with resellers looking to dump those seats rather than eating the cost of the tickets that have already been purchased.

It’s unknown at this time if MVP plans to announce the full live gate for the show.

But London will once again play host to the MMA leader on March 22 for what will be a historic card. 

The Fight Night card, which takes place at The O2 Arena, will be the promotion’s 30TH on British soil.

An excerpt from a press release read: “We are pleased to announce that UFC® is returning to London on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at the O2 Arena.

“This milestone event marks the 30th UFC event in the UK and promises a night of thrilling action.”

The latest UFC London card is set to showcase the UK and Ireland’s finest, with the likes of Lerone Murphy, Paddy Pimblett, Molly McCann and Modestas Bukauskas all in line for appearances.

A main event for what will likely be another sold-out show has yet to be announced.

But SunSport understands Britain’s third UFC champion Leon Edwards is in contention to top the bill.
