Sunday, March 17, 2024 – Boxing legend, Mike Tyson has shared a latest training footage of himself looking in fearsome shape ahead of his fight with Jake Paul, warning his opponent, ‘still want to f**k with me?’
Tyson, 57, will fight YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul aged 27 on
20 July at AT&T Stadium in Texas in fight that will be streamed globally on
Netflix.
Tyson retired from professional boxing 19 years ago, losing
three of his last four fights before hanging up his gloves in 2005.
He returned for an exhibition bout against fellow ring great
Roy Jones Jr in 2020, a bout where knockouts were not permitted.
Jake Paul meanwhile has fought three times in the last eight
months having secured six of his nine victories to date via knockout.
Tyson's latest post on Saturday showed the incredible power
that made him one of the most feared fighters on the planet is still there.
The clip shows Tyson hitting the pads with brutal
combinations. Towards the end of the clip, Tyson turns to the camera and says,
‘Day three. You still wanna f**k with me?’
Their bout has been met with fierce criticism by most people
in the boxing world, including Matchroom chief Eddie Hearn with UFC star Conor
McGregor another describing it as ‘strange’.
It remains to be seen whether Tyson vs Paul will be fought
under professional boxing rules but Jake Paul’s manager has already dismissed
the possibility of the fighters wearing protective headguards when they meet in
the ring.
Fight organisers however are lobbying the Texas Boxing
Commission to get it officially sanctioned as a professional fight.
