Jake Paul has been advised that he can still withdraw from his fight against Mike Tyson after the 57-year-old shared recent training videos ahead of their July 20 matchup.
Jake Paul has been cautioned that there’s still time for him to back out of his upcoming fight with Mike Tyson after the boxing legend posted new training footage that has excited fans.
Internet sensation Jake Paul is scheduled to face the legendary heavyweight ‘Iron Mike’ in a bout at the sprawling AT&T Stadium in Texas, which boasts a capacity of 80,000, on July 20.
Tyson, who officially retired from professional boxing after a loss to Kevin McBride nearly two decades ago, returned to the ring for an eight-round exhibition match with Roy Jones Jr. in 2020.
Since announcing this surprising fight over six weeks ago, Tyson has been actively losing weight and getting into shape, sparking significant excitement among fans with his latest training video, where he’s seen vigorously hitting the mitts, as reported by the Mirror.
“If Mike is the underdog please bet the house. Free money. His legacy won’t be tarnished by losing to a YouTuber,” one fan posted, according to Daily Star.
“Jake, you can still say no it’s ok,” chimed in another, while someone else suggested: “Best chance Jake Paul has is to watch these vids and learn how to box.”
Another fan pointed out: “I honestly don’t know how well Jake is training, but this is some beast-level work.”
Paul is currently on a three-fight winning streak following his loss to Tommy Fury last year, and there is ongoing speculation about whether his forthcoming match with Tyson will be officially sanctioned.
Before Tyson can enter the ring, he must pass several medical evaluations, including tests for his brain and heart. Despite these checks, Paul considers Tyson to be the toughest opponent he has ever faced.
