Mike Tyson has landed a new job ahead of his controversial bout against Jake Paul.
YouTuber turned boxer Paul will face legendary heavyweight boxer Tyson on November 15, which is in the news due to the huge age difference between the two.

Further outrage erupted when Tyson was forced to pull out of the initial July 20 date because of a stomach ulcer.
But organisers – including streaming platform Netflix – turned a blind eye to rescheduling the bout.
Doctors have declared Tyson medically fit to fight and he is back in training camp for the bout.
But this news comes when he has been appointed as a commentator and analyst for MMA promotion Cage Wars 67.
The event will be held at Rivers Casino & Resort in New York on Friday, with Tyson working alongside his son Amir.
Tyson, 58, retired in 2005 after two disappointing losses and troubles outside the ring.
But he returned in 2020 as the baddest man on the planet for an exhibition with 55-year-old Roy Jones Jr.
It was nothing more than a glorified fight, but Paul, 27, is hell-bent on bloodshed to make his bout against Tyson a professional punishment.

Both will be drug tested and Tyson will have to undergo additional brain and heart tests due to his age.
But the 10-1 Paul has no fear of lightning striking twice and he has no backup opponent.
he told TMZ“I’m not worried. He’s doing great. He’s very healthy behind the scenes and feeling great.
“So that’s what we’re focusing on and there’s no back-up available at the moment.”
