On 24 July, a highly anticipated fight between Mike Tyson and the incredibly popular actor and YouTuber Jake Paul is set to occur. The fighters are separated by a wide age gap, with "Iron Mike" over 30 years older than his opponent. Despite this, the legendary boxer is confident in his victory over an opponent who has fought 10 professional fights, winning 9 of them.
In recent weeks, Tyson has been intensively training for this bout, which he has regularly shown on his social media. A video also circulated online showing a session he had with a fan. The man was hitting the training gloves worn by the 57-year-old, but one of his punches accidentally hit the former world champion in the face.
Tyson's reaction says a lot about his character. Although the punch from the fan was not very strong, "Iron Mike" gave him an icy stare and then made a vulgar comment about the incident.
Calm down. If anyone hits me, I'll mess him up. Just letting you know. You made a mistake, I'll mess you up - Tyson said, eliciting laughter from other witnesses of the event.
Tyson's fans were recently concerned by information shared by "The Sun". According to the tabloid's journalists, there’s concern that the fight between the legendary boxer and Paul might not happen. They believe there is a risk that the former world champion will not pass additional medical examinations before the fight, which is required for participating in the bout.
A potential replacement for Tyson, former WBC super middleweight champion Sakio Bika, has already come forward. However, "Iron Mike" has not responded to these reports and continues demonstrating dominance over his nearest rival at every opportunity.
It’s worth noting that this will be Tyson's first fight since November 2020. The American then fought an exhibition match with another legendary boxer - Roy Jones Junior.
