The fight will be Tyson's first pro bout in 19 years.

He ended his career on the back of two defeats to Danny Williams and Kevin McBride, with the boxing star hanging up his gloves in 2005.

"We're looking at his heart rate in between rounds, like we're doing sparring sessions all the way up to the full 8 rounds.

"I'm not worried about his endurance at all."

On how Tyson has been gearing up for his blockbuster return to action, Velcich added: "It [his camp] was kind of push pull, so we based on how he feels.

"So a lot of times we started camp, he would do cardio in the morning around 11am, then he would do boxing, you know, boxing conditioning work around 1 to 2pm.

"Then we'd refuel, do strength and conditioning, and then a lot of the times we would come back to the gym around 7 p.m. and do weights. Then, based on how he feels the next day might be a day off.

"That's what's cool about this camp is there wasn't like set schedules. It was just based on how Mike felt.

"We'd go really hard one week, maybe we would ease back a little in the front end part of the second week and then finish off the week really hard and then based on recovery, how he's feeling, soreness, everything like that, adjust accordingly."
