Acollage of two pictures showing upcoming opponents Mike Tyson and Jake Paul at the age 18 has gone viral on social media. Users have not hesitated to make fun of the YouTuber-turned-boxer ahead of their fight.
Meanwhile, Tyson has showcased his formidable physical condition, suggesting that the YouTuber may have underestimated him. The fight, set for July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, marks Netflix’s inaugural venture into boxing broadcasting, promising a massive audience.
“Mike Tyson‘s neck is bigger than Jake‘s whole head,” a user replied to the aforementioned picture.
Another added: “Gotta admit though. Jake has changed A LOT since then. He is effectively a boxer now. Not much of a clown anymore. He still isn’t even CLOSE to an animal like Mike in this picture though. Mike is a BEAST.”
“Without a doubt, Mike Tyson was an unstoppable force and would have undoubtedly emerged victorious, no matter which way the situation played out,” a third replied.
As anticipation builds for the showdown, Tyson‘s display of fitness and determination suggests he may have the upper hand come fight night.
Training hard ahead of the bout
Despite concerns about Tyson‘s age and recent footage showing him apparently using a cane, his rigorous training sessions have allayed doubts. Tyson‘s intense training regimen, including bare-knuckle bag punching, indicates his serious approach to the fight.
Paul, initially favored due to his youth, posted a cryptic video on Instagram, hinting at underlying doubts about facing Tyson
