Former UFC welterweight star Mike Perry faced “The Problem Child” and suffered a KO loss in the sixth round.

Paul is confident that boxing legend Tyson will attend the new date and apparently refuses to work out a contingency plan.

When asked about Tysons HealthThe YouTube Sensation told TMZ: “I'm not worried.

“He's doing great. Behind the scenes, he's super healthy and feeling great.

“So that’s what we’re focusing on and there’s no alternative at the moment.”

Paul, 27, claims he will earn a whopping £30 million ($40 million) for his fight against Iron Mike in Texas.

When asked if fighting Tyson would add “value” to his boxing career, Paul said: “I didn't get him to do shit; I'm here to make $40 million and knock out a legend.”

“I don't give a shit about anything else. He's the one who wanted this to be a pro fight and he's getting beat up.

“You'll see it in his record: Jake Paul knocked out Mike Tyson. I'm not here to do anything but score a sack.

“Every time a fighter sits across from me and says: ‘YouTuber this and Disney Child, that' and they land on the mat… it will be no different.

“I presented this deal to this old wanker, we signed the contract with Netflix and we presented the deal to him.

“You’re welcome, my son.”

Tyson, 58, will also earn a nice sum, but stresses that it was the feeling of having his hand raised, and not the huge payday, that lured him back into the ring.

The former undisputed The heavyweight champion told Esquire: “I'm addicted to fame. I love it when people think about me all day long.”

“I would rather live a short life of fame than a long life of insignificance. That's just the way I am.”

“That's all I started fighting for – to get this damn status.

“I'm going to chase him for the rest of my life. I know that.”

“I'll never get what I want because I'm one of those gluttons who eat pain. I can never get enough of it.”
