14 March 2024

Legendary heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson has unleashed a display of his formidable power in a workout video marking the beginning of his training regimen for his upcoming showdown against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

The highly anticipated bout, announced just last week, is slated to take place on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Exclusive streaming rights for the event have been secured by Netflix, leaving fans intrigued by the dynamics of the fight, particularly given the significant 30-year age gap between the two competitors. Despite Tyson approaching 58 years old before the bout, his latest training footage indicates no signs of decline.

In the video, captioned 'It’s day 1…the fun has just begun,' Tyson showcases his prowess through a series of pad work sessions. The former heavyweight champion exhibits sharpness and power, with the impact of his punches resonating audibly as they connect with his trainer. One particularly ferocious left hook prompts an audible reaction from the trainer, underscoring Tyson's enduring strength and skill.

Tyson's demonstration of power prompted a flurry of reactions from his followers, many expressing concern for Paul, who is 27 years old. Comments ranged from expressions of admiration for Tyson's form to ominous predictions of Paul's fate in the ring.

Meanwhile, Paul, with a boxing record of 9-1, has been preparing diligently for the encounter. Despite suffering a narrow split decision defeat to Tommy Fury, Paul has since rebounded with victories over notable opponents such as Nate Diaz, Andre August, and Ryan Bourland.
