An image of Jake Paul’s physique has got fans online talking.
A picture of Jake Paul’s physique ahead of his pro bout against Mike Tyson has emerged online and fans think the fight is already done.
The eagerly-awaited showdown between Paul and Tyson is set for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Both fighters took part in a press conference to kick-off the promotion for their blockbuster clash as they were involved in a telling face-off.
Tyson, who’s making his first ring appearance since his exhibition bout against fellow boxing great Roy Jones Jr in November 2020, has documented his training on social media, showing off his legendary power and hand speed.
And, for the first time, Paul has shown off his heavyweight frame, having campaigned in the cruiserweight division.
He claimed he’d enter the bout around 240lbs and judging by a topless picture of the 27-year-old, he could very well hit that mark come fight night.
Most Valuable Promotions shared a clip of ‘The Problem Child’ on social media and fans online are convinced he’ll be victorious when he meets the boxing icon.
One X user wrote: “I think the 2 minute rounds are for Jake after seeing this.”
A second tweeted: “Jake Paul is looking gigantic.”
A third added: “Mike Tyson is finished.”
A fourth said: “Someone pray for Mike Tyson.”
Another argued: “He’s not a natural heavyweight, whatever weight he fought at last is where he’ll do best. Still think he’ll beat Tyson.”
Paul, who beat Ryan Bourland in his last outing, plans to bulk up to 240lbs before cutting down.
“And I’m only growing. I think I’ll get up to 240 and probably cut down so I’m like way faster,” he revealed.
“But if I’m training for this camp – and camp hasn’t started – but if I’m training in this camp at 240 and then I cut down to 220 it’s basically like I had a 20lbs weight vest on for the whole entire camp.
“So, my muscles are going to be so much stronger, and that speed will come through.”
