The boxing world was outraged at the booking of the fight due to the 31-YEAR age difference between the pair.
But former undisputed heavyweight champion Lewis, 58, has suggested he wants to teach The Problem Child a lesson after he throws down with Tyson.
He told Fox 29 Philadelphia: “That’s a good question. I hope that Tyson saves a little bit of Jake Paul for me.”
Lewis hung up his gloves in 2004, a year after his bloody victory over Vitali Klitschko.
But after years of insisting his fighting days are over, he recently opened the door for a shock ring return.
He told The Guardian: “As my friend says, I ain’t no fool.
“I was seeing if I could catch you out there.
“For me, money talks, [..] walks. That’s what I’m saying. I’d 100 per cent consider it.”

Fears for Tyson’s safety grew after a medical emergency last month forced the postponement of the fight.
Lewis, however, is confident his former opponent will do a number on Paul.

He said: “Mike Tyson’s gonna win. Mike Tyson’s not that old.
“Don’t take him too softly. We’re one year apart.
“You can fight somebody like that and do well because the person you’re fighting is not a true fighter and there’s a hundred things that you’ve forgotten that he’s learning.”
Paul’s crossover clash with Tyson could come to an end at the hands of former UFC welterweight Mike Perry, whom he’s agreed to fight in order to keep himself ticking over.
And the YouTube sensation knows he’s taking a risk, saying: “Now, as I prepare for my fight against Iron Mike, there’s no better opponent for me than Mike Perry.
“He’s a proven knockout artist who has shown to be a maniac in and out of the ring.
“This is the perfect experience for me to gain in advance of facing Mike Tyson.”
“He continued: “But getting that experience comes with risk.
“Those who know me know I’m a risk taker and while ‘Platinum’ Perry might try to end me, I’m Titanium Jake Paul and I fear no man.
“I’m going to get the W and give everyone a preview of what I’m bringing to the ring against Mike Tyson.
“Tune in on DAZN PPV as I return to Tampa and send ‘Platinum’ Perry the Platypus back to bare knuckle for good.”
