Mike Tyson gives an update on his physical condition
Mike Tyson is 57 years old in the ring, and Jake is much younger, 27 years of age in the ring. Many criticized Paul’s decision to fight a much older man in the boxing ring. Tyson claimed he is willing to take on the much younger YouTuber boxer in the ring. The duo were involved in face-offs for their fight earlier today. Mike Tyson was asked how he has been leading up to his fight against Jake Paul. Tyson replied,
My body is shit right now, I’m really sore.
Tyson clarified that his training for his fight has physically taken a toll on him in the octagon. Ariel Helwani claimed that Mike may be playing possum, but Tyson revealed that he is having a tough time with the physical aspect of training. Jake Paul might be rejoicing on hearing this news, as his opponent is already struggling to put in the work. It will be interesting to see what happens soon between the two.
Mike Tyson will have to use one of his powerful boxing combinations to secure a victory over Paul. Paul might have a cardio advantage as he is used to fighting for longer durations and has much more active legs. It will be hard for Mike to match the activity of a much younger Jake inside the boxing ring when the duo fight in the ring.
