With four months to go before the highly-anticipated bout between YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, the jawing between the fighters has officially started to ramp up.
The fight may be on, but the gloves are off evidently. Paul is already calling himself the “greatest heavyweight boxer on the planet” after just ten fights.
It has been 19 years since Tyson strapped up the gloves and fought in an official match. Back then, Paul was just eight years old. His YouTube career was still nearly a decade away from starting. Still, the legend is primed for a return, inching ever closer.
Unfortunately for fans hoping Tyson will knock the snot out of “The Problem Child”, many aren’t giving the former champ much of a chance because of his age, 57. While that certainly isn’t a prime age to be fighting, Tyson has shown serious ferocity through videos on his social media that have dropped many viewers’ jaws to the floor.
While the fighters are relatively silent, there has been plenty of dialogue and videos to share across social media.

That’s Tyson training with legendary coach Rafael Cordeiro. He is world-renowned in the world of MMA and boxing. Tyson is absolutely smashing those mitts on him. Given the advancements in medical recovery technology since Tyson retired, there’s reason to believe Tyson still has some juice left in the tank.
