Mike Tyson looks fired up while training for Jake Paul.
In his latest training video posted on X, the legendary boxer is seen knocking down his sparring partner with a clean left hook to the chin as if it were 1990 all over again.
That’s the form Tyson will be hoping to display when he takes on Paul in the Nov. 15 bout as many have questioned the 58-year-old’s ability to compete with a fighter 31 years his junior.
Tyson looked to be charging forward, as we saw him do for over a decade in the squared circle, while his opponent backed into a corner before getting knocked down after falling into the ropes.
His coaches screamed, “Nice left hook,” as his opponent fell to the mat.
Coach Rafael Cordeiro seemed more than pleased with Tyson’s work, appearing to have to reel him in and cut the training session.
“That’s good for today,” Cordeiro says to Tyson, who quickly responds, “Are you f–king sure? Are you f–king sure?”
His coaches responded “yes” in unison, while he looked at them and said, “I have a lot in me. I’m just getting started.”
Tyson is slated to fight Paul in a bout to be broadcast live on Netflix with a loaded card featuring Amanda Serrano vs. Katie Taylor.
Through the lead-up to the fight, Tyson has been posting sparring and training footage.
Fans reacted poorly to Tyson running in April but the carefully selected training camps give a more optimistic perspective on his abilities.
The fight was originally set for July 20th but was put on hold after Tyson had an ulcer flare-up while flying cross country.
The heavyweight fight is scheduled for eight two-minute rounds and 14-ounce gloves.
