HOLLOW RING

Tyson and Paul's 16-minute heist will be a sad end for boxing icon

- MARTIN DOMIN

EVEN Mike Tyson can barely hide it... this fight is more show than showdown.

During the eight long months since his meeting with Jake Paul was announced, the boxer formerly known as the 'Baddest Man on the Planet' has played his part to perfection.

Such has been his apparent dedication to his first bout in four years and his first professional outing in almost 20 that the bookies have shortened his odds.

Tonight, the 58-year-old Tyson will give away 31 years to YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul in exchange for a multi-million dollar purse at Texas' AT&T.

And while ticket sales have slowed, up to 70,000 expectant fans will pack into the home of the Dallas Cowboys.
