Captioning the video on his Instagram and X accounts, Tyson said, “Can’t wait for this to be Jake.” Tyson and Paul are set for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Prior to this upcoming event, the duo had already engaged in pre-fight banter, prepping the stage for a showdown with less than three months remaining. What’s it going to be? Let’s get into it! 

Jake Paul Responds to Tyson’s Training Footage

In a recent “Jesse Watters Primetime appearance,” Jake Paul confessed that he believes that Mike Tyson was underestimating him ahead of their anticipated clash. Confidently, he said that the clash would be a heavyweight fight. Although he acknowledged Tyson’s physical advantages, Paul noted that his speed and freshness set him apart from Tyson.

Does being fresh have nothing to do with winning? Well, we can’t be so sure. Let’s all wait to see what happens by July 20. Regarding Tyson’s status, Paul further accepts the challenge. He admitted that the clash would be one of the toughest tests of his life, but he still thinks it’s a privilege to be in there with the heavyweight champion.

Still firm about his conviction, Paul told fans that he would win at the end of the game. As the duo keeps exchanging words and training diligently, we eagerly anticipate their showdown.

Mike Tyson’s Honest Thoughts on Fighting Jake Paul

During an interview on Hannity, Mike Tyson openly admitted to being “scared” about his upcoming fight with Jake Paul. He attributed his fears to his mental preparation for the fight. But, as the event is fast approaching, Tyson revealed that his nerves have lessened, saying, “And in reality, I’m invincible.”

Recalling Jake Paul’s journey from YouTube personality to challenging opponent, Tyson noted that he once saw a YouTube video of him doing weird dances. That’s so funny. Tyson was shocked and humorously stated that Jake Paul could not be the guy he would fight.

Anticipating a serious challenge from Paul, Tyson noted the intensity of the encounter. He said, “This guy is gonna come; he’s gonna try to hurt me, which I’m accustomed to, and he’s gonna be greatly mistaken.” With Tyson’s honest thoughts, the countdown to this showdown keeps intensifying. Plus, it promises an unforgettable show for fans.

Texas Department’s Controversial Decision and Mike Tyson’s Response

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations’ decision to sanction the fight has caused controversy. This is mainly due to the significant age gap between the duo. Despite criticism, Tyson remains calm. He asserts his commitment to peak physical condition by dismissing nitpickers as “jealous” of Paul.

With a series of training camp clips we’ve seen online, Tyson aims to silence doubters and show his readiness to take on the younger “Problem Child” over eight two-minute rounds.

Social Media Responds to Tyson’s Training Footage and Bisping’s Comment

As Mike Tyson continues to show fans his intense preparation, fans’ reactions are divided. Although many support and admire his power, others are skeptical of the limited training footage. “He ain’t ready, Big Mike,” commented one fan. Another fan added, “57 years old, and the power in that punch looks unreal!”

Another commented that Jake Paul must never show his face again if he loses. However, if it’s the other way around, that’s an elderly abuse. Elsewhere, former UFC champion Michael Bisping gives his two cents about Paul’s decision to face Tyson. He highlighted the age difference and the potential repercussions for both fighters.

With the vast 31-year age gap hanging over the matchup, it will most likely be the biggest in the history of professional boxing. This surpasses the 24-year age gap between Archie Moore, 49, and Mike DiBiase, 25, when they fought in 1963.
