Next month, Tyson is set to face off against Paul in a highly anticipated boxing match. The legendary fighter has even given it the nickname "Jake's wake", hinting at his confidence in defeating his opponent. In just a few weeks, they will go head to head at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, with the fight being streamed globally on Netflix.
There is quite an age gap between the two fighters, with Tyson being 31 years older than Paul. While Tyson retired from professional boxing in 2005 after losing three of his last four fights, Paul has been on a successful streak with 10 wins in 11 matches. However, Tyson did make a return to the ring for an exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr in November 2020.
Initially, there were concerns about Tyson's health leading up to the fight, which was originally scheduled for July. However, after postponing the date, Tyson returned to training a month later and has been pushing himself in the gym ever since. He has even shared glimpses of his intense training sessions, including a clip of him knocking down a sparring partner with a powerful left hook.
In a recent video shared on social media, Tyson can be seen training with Gene Kilroy, Muhammad Ali's former manager. Kilroy is amazed by Tyson's strength and conditioning, commenting that he has never seen him this strong before. He even admits that he was worried about Tyson's ability to travel and train, but after witnessing his preparations, he can now sleep soundly at night.
Tyson's response to Kilroy shows his confidence and determination to succeed in this new era of boxing. He acknowledges that times have changed and that it's a whole new ball game. It's clear that Tyson is fully focused and has been putting in more effort than ever before, as he aims to defeat Paul in their upcoming match.
