Mike Tyson showed his social media followers Saturday just how ready he is to take on Jake Paul as he sparred with a member from his camp in a Nevada parking lot.

Tyson showed off his quickness with strikes to the trainer’s body and hands along with a powerful right hook. It was a clear warning to Paul to show that the 57-year-old former heavyweight champion still has it.

Can’t wait for this to be Jake,” he captioned the video on his Instagram and X accounts.

Tyson and Paul will square off on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The two competitors have started the trash-talking with more than three months to go before the bell sounds.

Paul appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” earlier in the week and said Tyson was “underestimating” him.

“I think he’s underestimating me. I truly, I truly think that. And it’s a heavyweight fight,” Paul said. “He’s the bigger man, but I’m the faster man. He’s the much stronger man, but I’m fresh. He’s experienced.

“I’m smart, but, in the ring, he may be smarter. So, it’s a really interesting matchup. But I think the whole world … and I think a lot of people see his training videos. And, yes, he looks like a beast. He’s a dog. He’s ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson.

“But I believe I have what it takes to beat him. I know this is the toughest test of my life, and it’s an honor to be in there with Mike. But at the end of the day, I’m gonna be the one who gets my hand raised.”

Tyson said on “Hannity” that he was “scared” about fighting Paul, but that was a part of him getting mentally ready.

“As the fight gets closer, the less nervous I become, because it’s reality. And in reality, I’m invincible.”

Tyson said Paul has come “a long way from YouTubing.”

Jake Paul is one hundred percent focused on his preparation for the July 20 fight against Mike Tyson. The exhibition bout has the content creator working overtime preparing for him in boxing, even if it means delaying his other plans, such as his mixed martial arts (MMA) debut.

Paul’s attitude is understandable. Although the almost 30-year age difference evens the scales, “Iron Mike” is one of the toughest opponents the YouTuber-turned-boxer has faced in his short career.

So far, the only loss on Paul’s 9-1 record was against Tommy Fury, the only professional boxer he has faced. Although the result was a split decision and Fury is far from being a top-class boxer, this shows the difference that still exists between so-called influencer boxing and professional boxing.

That is why Paul has decided to focus on boxing, even at the cost of delaying his long-awaited debut in MMA. It is worth remembering that the influencer has signed a contract to fight with the Professional Fighters League (PFL) promotion in 2024.

Paul’s debut will have to wait

PFL manager Donn Davis assured that Jake Paul will debut in MMA but also admitted that plans are on hold due to his fight with Tyson. “So his development in MMA is not coming along as quickly as we thought. Will he fight for the PFL? One hundred percent,” Davis declared.

The businessman was optimistic about Paul’s development at the promotion. “The good news is, if people didn’t think Jake was serious about combat, he’s proven to be serious,” he explained.

He’s gotten better. He’s doubled down on boxing at the minute, there’s no question about it,” Davis emphasized, explaining, “There was a time when he might have done 50/50, and right now it looks like he might be 90 /10 in boxing and MMA.”

Paul divided between boxing and MMA

The younger brother of influencer and fighter Logan Paul is currently in Colorado, training with the US Olympic boxing team. This shows how seriously he is taking his exhibition fight against Tyson.

However, Paul also set up a PFL-style cage at his training headquarters in Puerto Rico. Furthermore, the Problem Child does not miss the opportunity to engage in insults exchanges with as many MMA figures as possible.

In one of his recent posts on X, formerly Twitter, Paul responded to the unflattering statements of the UFC fighters Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz. He assured neither of them could defeat him in a boxing match, so he challenged them to face him in MMA but in the PFL cage.

Despite recent footage of Mike Tyson looking back to his explosive best in training recently, Jake Paul believes he will be “too fast” in their fight.

Jake Paul has talked up his own credentials as he dismissed suggestions he should be wary of the threat posed by Mike Tyson heading into their glamour bout. With a 30-year age gap between the two competitors, the much-publicized bout has been a source of much debate – but it appears the pair are blocking out the critics.

Just ten fights into his professional career in the ring, the prospect of 27-year-old Paul facing off against a man three decades his senior has proven a divisive proposition. Having defined an era during his heyday, 57-year-old Tyson will be determined to prove that age is just a number when he dons his gloves at AT&T Stadium in July.

The man once known as the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ has rarely fought following his official retirement back in 2005, with his appearances limited to two exhibition bouts since then. Still, recent footage of the former world unified heavyweight champion putting in his preparations for his comeback fight in the gym in the past month appeared to show that the icon still has his famous explosive power.

In clips posted on Instagram by ‘Iron Mike’, he was shown packing a mean punch as he was put through his paces during a series of exercises on the pads. However, his upcoming adversary Paul remains confident that he is the favourite coming into this summer’s contest, predicting he will be “too fast” and insisting he is not scared by his training videos. He said on FOX News: “I think he’s underestimating me, I truly, truly think that.

“It’s a heavyweight fight, he’s the bigger man but I’m the faster man. He’s the much stronger man but I’m fresh. He’s experienced. I’m smart but in the ring he may be smarter. It’s are really interesting match-up and people see the training videos and think he’s a beast.

“But I know I have what it takes to beat him. It’s an honour to be in the ring with him but I’m confident I’ll have my hand raised. It’s going to be tough, he’s going to be getting inside but I believe I have the faster feet and faster hands and I’m going to be finding the angles.”

After nearly two decades away from competitive action, Tyson has admitted to some anticipation as he looks to defy his nemesis’ protestations in the coming months. Also speaking to FOX News, he confessed that the challenge excites him, saying: “I have a weird personality – I don’t think it’s weird though.

“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'”, he continued, as he explained his thought process after accepting the Netflix-backed fight. “Anything I’m afraid of, I confront it. That’s my personality. Right now, I’m scared to death.

Mike Tyson against Jake Paul may be one of the most anticipated fights in recent times, seeing the return of the boxing legend to the ring facing a YouTuber turned boxer.Despite the criticism for this exhibition fight, so far everything is ready for the boxing show on July 20.

Although this video that Tyson published on his Instagram account makes more than one think about Mike’s security and confidence to face Paul.

In the clip Tyson shared, he talks about being “a good man” or “a great man,” referencing a quote from John Kennedy Junior: “I met a lot of great men and all those great men I met, they were no good men.”

Mike claims that for a long time he was told he was a great man, and that it meant nothing to him, but now he’s looking to be a good man. What does he mean by that, is he anticipating a special moment, is he referring to the fight against Jake Paul, or is he referring to the fight against Jake Paul?

The Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight could be cancelled

Before the highly anticipated bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul,Mike will have to pass some tests according to TDLR’s regulations for combative sports, any contestant aged 36 or older must present a report of recent physical tests, including EEG and EKG results conducted within the past year. This requirement poses a hurdle for Tyson, who will be 58 at the time of the bout, placing him firmly in the age bracket subject to these rules.

The anticipation surrounding the upcoming clash between boxing legendMike Tyson and YouTuber Jake Paul reached fever pitch over the weekend as Tyson showcased his incredible physique during a meet-and-greet event in the United States.

At 57 years old, Tyson continues to defy the odds and prove that age is just a number as he prepares to step back into the ring to face the 27-year-old Paul on July 20, with the event set to be broadcast live on Netflix.

In the build up to his blockbuster fight with Mike Tyson, celebrity boxer Jake Paul took to Instagram to post a new training video, inspired by the classic film Rocky. However, he made a mockery of Sylvester Stallone’s famous training montage, as fans on social media pointed out the key detail he missed in his bastardized version.

Fans diss Jake Paul over Rocky remake

On both YouTube and Instagram, the most-liked comment on Paul’s video was resounding: “Embarrassing.”

“Please don’t compare yourself to a Legend,” another comment said on Instagram, to the tune of over 2,500 likes.

Jake Paul is no stranger to online hate, which he has leveraged to grow his brand bigger and bigger, eventually leading to the July 20th mega fight against “Iron Mike” Tyson on Netflix.

Jake Paul’s training montage didn’t mach the original

While some trolls leave similar remarks on all of Paul’s posts, this one in particular got specific criticism because of its inability to capture the spirit of Rocky Balboa‘s triumphant run up the “Rocky Steps” at the Philadelphia Art Museum.

“Clown paid all those people to cheer for him,” wrote a commenter on YouTube, pointing out his lack of authenticity.

“Didn’t even have a quarter of the ppl rocky had cheering,” another critic chimed in.

It’s true that unlike Sylvester Stallone, Jake Paul has failed to capture the hearts of the public as he prepares for the Mike Tyson fight. In his self-proclaimed role as “The Problem Child,” he doesn’t seem bothered by playing the bad guy.

Maybe 77-year-old Stallone will even become the next aging legend that he challenges to a fight.

Former UFC fighter Clay Collard is eyeing a return to the boxing ring with one goal in mind: to take down Jake Paul and reclaim MMA’s honor. Despite currently focusing on his PFL career, the 31-year-old Collard remains keenly interested in a potential matchup against Paul.

With 18 professional boxing bouts under his belt, including facing Olympic silver medallist Bektemir Melikuziev, Collard‘s boxing experience sets him apart from the aging MMA stars that Paul has been squaring off against.

Collard calls out Paul

“The only guy I want to box is Jake Paul,” he said.

“I just want to do it for all those MMA fighters that he has beat up.

“I have played the game of boxing a little bit unlike most of these guys so I think he would definitely have his hands full against me. But he’s doing crazy s*** now. I want to kick you’re a**.”
