Heavyweight Mike Tyson drastically altered his nutrition in preparation for his professional boxing battle against Jake Paul in July. In preparation for the fight, which is scheduled to happen in Texas in July, Tyson has started eating raw meat.
The social media sensation Paul will face the heavyweight icon Tyson in a contentious boxing match, officially confirmed as a professional fight last week in Texas in July. Eight two-minute rounds will be fought amongst the adversaries in the ring, with the winner determined by their records.
Paul will be almost thirty years younger than Tyson, fighting at fifty-eight. It has been over two decades since Tyson’s last professional appearance and four years since his last bout.
How Will Raw Meat Help Mike Tyson Win Against Jake Paul?
Mike Tyson, the great heavyweight boxer, gave some insight into his unusual preparations before his fight against Jake Paul on July 20. In an interview with the Damon Elliott Show, Tyson,57, claimed that consuming raw meat had helped him stay in excellent form for the fight.
This fight, scheduled for AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, between Tyson and the 27-year-old Paul, will be Tyson’s first official, non-exhibition boxing contest since 2005. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations agreed to sanction the fight last month, changing the earlier belief that it would be an exhibition. The bout will broadcast live on Netflix.
