Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson goes down on July 20.
Jake Paul was shown new Mike Tyson training footage for the first time – and his reaction said everything.
The two fighters will face off on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, as part of Netflix’s first-ever live boxing card.
Tyson, 57, hasn’t fought since taking on Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition bout in November 2020, with that being the first time he had stepped into the ring competitively since his professional retirement in 2005.
‘Iron Mike’ has had his health issues in recent years, which has led to concern among some fans about his stamina levels ahead of the fight.
However, training footage of Tyson preparing for the eagerly-anticipated bout shows that his destructive power and movement is still very much a threat to Paul.

During the latest episode of ‘BS with Jake Paul’, ‘The Problem Child’ was shown footage of Tyson’s latest boxing training video.
After watching the footage for a few seconds, Paul begins to formulate a response, but then leans forward and says: “Wait, let me see this…”
His girlfriend Jutta Leerdam, who was also starring on the podcast, then asked him: “Babe, what if he knocks you out?”
Paul laughed, before replying: “Woah! Just look away… just look away.”
When the topic of whether Paul could get knocked out by Tyson was brought up later on the episode, he said: “We shouldn’t even talk about it… I’m just too sharp and fast. That’s it.
“I think just being active, and being in the arena for years and years now, I don’t even get nervous. The nerves aren’t even there anymore.
“I think an arena, it can feel more intimate and personal. This [the stadium] isn’t going to feel as crazy, I don’t think.”
