Mike Tyson Posts POV Video of Training Session Ahead of Jake Paul Boxing Fight

Jack Murray

Mike Tyson gave fans a taste of what his fight against Jake Paul will look like this Summer.

The 57-year-old is set to fight Paul July 20 and posted a video on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that showed a first-person perspective of someone sparring with Tyson.

Tyson being in the ring is not something that will be too unfamiliar for fans. He is a former undisputed champion who fought professionally for 20 years and is considered to be among one of the best in the sport's history.

He has not fought since a 2020 exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. His last professional fight came in 2005, and he retired with 50 professional wins.

His fight against Jones ended in a draw, and that was a more age-appropriate bout as Jones is only two years younger than Tyson. Paul, on the other hand, is 27-years-old and has a 9-1 record in the ring, with six wins coming via knockout.

Tyson previously said he was "scared to death" to fight Paul, but also acknowledged that the feeling is a pretty natural one for him ahead of a fight.

The highly-anticipated fight is set to take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
