'Iron Mike' rolls back the years with return to ring

Tyson and Paul are set to fight it out in Texas. The bout was originally set to take place in July earlier this year, but Tyson was forced to reschedule after an ulcer flare.

Heads in the sporting and entertainment worlds spun at the initial announcement of the fight, given 'Iron Mike' is approaching 60 years of age. Paul, 27, is perhaps in his physical prime, however.

Regardless, the bout is set to draw eyes from around the globe.
