Mike Tyson just released a short training video and even at 57 years of age he’s looking every bit like the “Kid Dynamite” nickname he earned as a younger fighter.
Sure it’s just a 10-second clip. Clipped with quick jump cuts. Edited. And one has to assume that Jake Paul is an overwhelming favorite heading into their match on July 20th.
But man the nostalgia just hits you when watching Tyson deliver devastating body shots to his training partner and watching the lightning-quick fists a-flyin’.
And they’re not just quick fists – there is some significant power behind them.
“It’s day one,” Tyson says. “The fun has just begun.”

Mike Tyson: The Fun Has Just Begun
While Tyson clearly thinks that the fun and the party are just beginning, Jake Paul might take a look at the ‘day one’ training video and conclude otherwise.
Bounding Into Sports reported on the huge news in the world of professional boxing when the match between the ‘Problem Child’ and ‘Iron’ Mike was announced.
This historic fight will take place at the home of the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas.
Even at his age, Mike Tyson still delivers such power in his swings that simply watching the above video might give Paul a moment of pause.
Jake Paul Explains Why He Wants The Fight
Still, Jake seems to have serious motivation as to why he’d like to take on Mike Tyson. Super-serious motivation.
Because he got his name wrong once.
Paul explained in an Instagram video that Mike accidentally called him by his brother’s name. And it made him this furious you guys!
No seriously, he’s angry because Mike Tyson called him Logan Paul, Jake’s brother and current WWE superstar.
“Imagine meeting your hero for the first time. And they call you your brother’s name,” Jake explained. “We don’t even f*cking look alike. Ever since that day, Mike, I’ve wanted to knock you the fuck out.”
Bruh, be thankful he even pointed his voice in your direction. Cause next up are the fists.
Paul is currently a heavy favorite to win the match. But if he runs into one of those “iron” fists, all bets are off.
Tyson might just hit him so hard that Logan Paul gets knocked out too.
