July 20 came and went, and all eyes are now on November 15. The original date for the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight couldn't be honored due to health concerns for Iron Mike, but Paul ended up fighting Mike Perry last weekend instead.

Paul came out victorious, dominating the inexperienced Perry and being met with some criticism due to fighting another opponent with a very low level of pure boxing talent. Paul now has four months to prepare for the 58-year-old Tyson, who should be his toughest fight; we just won't know how much Tyson has left in the tank at such an advanced age.

While those two get ready to tussle, Paul got a warning from legendary wrestler Ric Flair on Wednesday, in a photo he published alongside Tyson: "Jake Paul, Watch Out!"

Flair was promoting his cannabis brand "Ric Flair Drip", collaborating with "Tyson 2.0", which is Iron Mike's own cannabis brand. They were pictured with Adam Wilks, who helped launch both brands.

Tyson looked like he was in another dimension in the picture, while Flair was as cool as ever while sporting his trademark shades and slicked back hair. We would pay to see the Nature Boy make a cameo appearance during Tyson vs Paul in November.
