In a dramatic training video, Tyson sends a clear message to his upcoming opponent, Jake Paul, ahead of their July bout

As the sports world buzzes with anticipation for the summer showdown between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, the legendary boxer Tyson has ramped up his fight preparations and sent an intimidating message to his younger adversary. At 57, Tyson, who was seen using a cane just two years ago, is showing no signs of hesitation in taking on the challenge posed by the YouTube star turned professional boxer.

In a recent 14-second montage of his training posted on X, Tyson included a terse message for Paul: “You still wanna f*** with me?” Accompanied by graphic language, the video highlights Tyson’s commitment to his training regimen, now in its third day, as he prepares for the bout.

Scheduled for July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the match between Tyson and Paul promises to be one of the biggest sporting events of the year, just ahead of the Olympics. This fight is not only a test for Paul, who is coming off a victory over Ryan Bourland, but also a monumental step in his boxing career as he faces one of the sport’s most iconic figures.

Paul, expressing his excitement and determination for the upcoming fight, emphasized the significance of this opportunity to prove himself against a boxing legend. “My sights are set on becoming a world champion, and now I have a chance to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion ever, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time,” Paul stated.

Tyson, whose last appearance in the ring was an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, sees the fight as a full circle moment. Having launched Paul’s boxing career on the undercard of the Tyson vs. Jones fight, Tyson now aims to conclude Paul’s journey in what promises to be an unforgettable clash.

As the fight draws nearer, both athletes are preparing intensely for what could be a defining moment in their careers. With Tyson’s experience and skill set against Paul’s ambition and recent success in the ring, this matchup is set to captivate boxing fans worldwide.
