Mike Tyson has admitted his body is 's**t' ahead of his fight with Jake Paul.
But the boxing icon is still ready to give it his all as he looks to come out on top later in the year.
Tyson and Paul are due to fight on July 20, with Netflix set to stream the showdown to millions of fans from all over the world.
And Iron Mike, speaking at a press conference in New York City, admitted his body is 's**t' with just two months until the showdown to go.

He said: “Well, I’m beautiful. That’s all I can say.
"I’m doing great, but my body is s**t right now, my body is sore.”
However, the 57-year-old is eager to give the bout his all and believes he's capable of beating Paul, despite his compatriot being 30 years younger.
"This fight is very important," he said.
"Just the fact that he is taking the opportunity to fight me is mind-blowing … I'm very impressed with what he's accomplished.
"The people who said that [I am too old to fight] wish that they were up here. No one else can do this.
"Who else can do this? Who else can shut the sporting world down? No one else can do it.
"You got the both of us, so we're going to do this. We're friends. There's no doubt we're friends.
"But in the ring, we're not going to be friends. That's just what it is.”
He continued: “We're going to see, huh, [if Paul can take my power]. No, I'm not [trying to put an end to Paul]. I really like Jake a lot.
"But once he's in that ring, he has to fight like his life is depending on it, because it will be.
"This seems like it's going to be fun. Maybe we'll do it again, too [against someone else]. But can I take care of Jake first, please?
Paul believes he's capable of taking a punch from Tyson, insisting his rival is underestimating him.
“I know I will be able to [take Tyson’s power],” Paul said.
“I’m a natural-born heavyweight. … I’m gonna show Mike who has more power.
