Mike Tyson Posts Training Video For Jake Paul Netflix Boxing Fight: ‘Unconquerable’
Mike Tyson dropped another training video Friday on X ahead of his upcoming boxing match against Jake Paul.
The 30-second video, which is narrated by Tyson, shows the former world champion working out and breaking a sweat in anticipation of his first official professional bout since 2005:
Tyson also commented Friday on his expectations for the bout, telling TalkSport (h/t MMAFighting.com): “I see [Paul] running around, I have to catch him and slaughter him.”
The 58-year-old Tyson also made it clear that he isn’t afraid to get in the ring with the much younger Paul, saying: “No, [I don’t fear him] because he stepped into the ring. If my mother steps in the ring, she has a problem with me. Whoever’s in that ring, they have a problem. Don’t go in the ring if you don’t want that problem.”
Tyson and Paul were originally scheduled to clash on July 20, but the fight had to be moved back to Nov. 15 due to Tyson experiencing ulcer issues.
Now, it appears all systems are go for Tyson vs. Paul, which will pit a Hall of Famer with a career record of 50-6 against a YouTuber-turned-boxer who has only 11 career fights to his credit.
Tyson told TalkSport that while Paul is a “good little fighter,” he is considered an “amateur” in the boxing world.
Paul has technically competed in 11 professional fights and compiled a 10-1 record, however, most of his bouts were against former MMA fighters or low-level boxers.
Despite being out of boxing for years, Tyson will look to prove that he is still capable of winning a big fight, even at nearly 60 years of age.
Tyson vs. Paul is set for Nov. 15 at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and it will stream live on Netflix.
