Jake Paul has been warned that he will likely be unable to take Mike Tyson’s power.

The YouTube star is set to meet heavyweight legend ‘Iron Mike’ in a showdown on July 20, with the former undisputed world champion known for his ferocious power throughout his hugely fruitful career.

Despite now being 57, Tyson has shown off the natural power he still possesses in short training clips, which have left some fans urging Paul to call off the clash.

And Roy Jones Jr, who was Tyson’s most recent opponent in an exhibition in 2020, has claimed it felt like a mule was crushing his chest when his rival landed body work.

He said to boxing legend Shane Mosley: “Mike Tyson is still the strongest puncher that I’ve ever been in the ring with.

“The first time he hit me in the chest, it felt like a mule had kicked me in the chest.

“And if he hits anybody with a shot like that, they are either going out or down, especially guys who are not used to being hit like that.

“With these types of people like Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis, these guys are bigger and can take it.

“But Jake Paul, I don’t think he’s going to be able to take that.

“It might hit him on the chin like that, we’ll see, but it’s going to be tough [for him].”Jones Jr shared the ring with some fearsome fighters in their primes including Bernard Hopkins and James Toney, but named Tyson as the hardest hitter despite being years from his prime.

His and Tyson’s relaxed encounter ended in a draw given the rules, but it was widely acknowledged that Tyson looked the better of the two.

Despite being far from his prime, Paul has suggested he is fearful of stepping in the ring with Tyson when reacting to his training footage.

Tyson has been crushing the pads with trainer Rafael Cordeiro, and fans have warned Paul to back out given the thunderous sound of the punches.

The former heavyweight carried an 88 per cent KO ratio in his professional career, with 44 of his 50 wins coming inside the distance.

Paul will likely need to weather the early storm to have the best route to victory, although it is expected the fight will be under exhibition rules according to Tyson.

Boxing and social media star Jake Paul admits he’s nervous about facing legend Mike Tyson in the ring after watching his epic training footage.

Tyson will take on Paul on the 20th of July at the 80,000-capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The bout will be screened on Netflix, making it the platform’s first move into live boxing.

Tyson impressed fans at a recent meet-and-greet in Virginia after showing off his six-pack and impressive physique. Ever since the confirmation of the fight, the former professional boxer has uploaded several clips of him training ahead of his showdown with the YouTuber.

The 57-year-old hasn’t fought a professional fight since 2005, but did fight Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition match in 2020, which went down as a draw.

Leading up to the fight, Tyson is clearly leaving no stone unturned. ‘Iron Mike’ will have celebrated his 58th birthday by the time he squares off with Paul.

That said, when looking at his recent training footage, you’d think that he’s still in his prime, as the American looks fast, powerful and explosive.

Paul, 27, admits the clips have made him a little nervous. During a conversation on the BS/w Jake Paul Podcast, ‘The Problem Child’s’ brother Logan Paul asked: “When you see Mike Tyson hitting those pads, do you get a little nervous?”

He replied: “Yeah. It’s motivating, I think it is good to carry fear into the ring and with you on a daily basis when you’re training because it makes you better.”

That said, the YouTuber-turned-boxer then delivered a warning to his future opponent just three months before they’re set to square off in the ring.

Despite Tyson recently confirming that the fight will be an exhibition, the former heavyweight champion has since voiced his fears over fighting ‘The Problem Child.’

“Right now I’m scared to death,” Tyson commented to Fox News on the subject of going into the ring with Paul. However, the heavyweight boxing legend was quick to dispel any belief that this fear was abnormal for him prior to stepping into the ring, going on to deliver ‘the coldest message’ to his upcoming opponent.

He added: “I was afraid of the Roy [Jones] fight. I was 100 pounds overweight. I was, however old, 54, 53, and I said, ‘Let’s do it.’ I always believed that adversity and nervousness pretty much catapulted me into success. If I didn’t have these feelings, I wouldn’t go into this fight. I have to have these feelings to fight. Without them, I would never go in the ring. As the fight gets closer, the less nervous I become because it’s reality, and in reality, I’m invincible.”
