Mike Tyson may be 57 years old, but it’s clear he still packs a powerful punch.

Iron Mike shared a short training video Tuesday night as he continues to prep for his fight against Jake Paul:

Tyson and Paul are set to fight on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in a Netflix live special. Originally set to be an exhibition bout, the parties announced last month the fight would be sanctioned and count against their professional records.

Tyson has not fought in a sanctioned match since losing to Kevin McBride in June 2005. He returned to the ring in November 2020 for an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. and had negotiated with Evander Holyfield for a battle of legends but no fight came to fruition.

Paul, a social media star turned boxer, is 9-1 since making his professional debut in January 2020. His second fight, a knockout win over former NBA guard Nate Robinson, came on the undercard of the Tyson vs. Jones pay-per-view.

“I saw a YouTube of him at 16 doing weird dances. That’s not the guy I’m gonna be fighting,” Tyson said last month. “This guy is gonna come, he’s gonna try to hurt me, which I’m accustomed to, and he’s gonna be greatly mistaken.”
