It was previously reported that Tyson, 57, and Paul, 27, will share the ring on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, USA.
"Mike won't be happy to hear me say this, but he's 60 years old now. I love Mike Tyson and he's one of my favorite athletes of all time. I don't know, we'll see what he can do. In this fight, the age difference will be 31 years. You guys know how I feel about that," White said at the press conference following UFC 299.
