Fans had mixed reactions to 27-year-old Jake Paul releasing “training footage” for his upcoming fight.
It’s no secret that one of the most talked about and controversial boxing matches of the year will take place on July 20. Live from the AT&T Stadium in Texas, Jake Paul plans to add a legendary name to his resume, as he faces 58-year-old Mike Tyson in an eight-round exhibition with a heavyweight limit.
Tyson has begun training for his first boxing match since facing Roy Jones Jr in a November 2020 exhibition, which was scored a draw. ‘Iron’ looked impressive for his age in the minimal footage released thus far, but fans have questioned if he can sustain his ferociousness for several rounds.
Earlier today, Paul posted a video on Instagram of him hopping off a private jet and saying, ‘Day one of training.’ The YouTuber-turned-boxer then immediately drank champagne before showing highlights of a party he attended with his girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam.

The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match has piqued the interest of fans, with most people sharing negative feedback. With that said, curiosity about what might happen could lead to massive viewing numbers for the Netflix event, which can be seen live by active subscribers.
When it comes to Paul’s latest promotional content, fans had mixed reactions to him trolling Tyson on Instagram, including the following people saying:
“If I were him I quit the challenge because Mike Tyson is winning him in the second round”
“I guess that’s the reason he doesn’t fight people his age”
“I don’t think people remember that Jake’s last fight was 3 weeks ago, whereas Mike’s last fight was 3 years ago. It’s obvious that Jake would be on vacation while Mike would start training right about now.”
“Mike hit the pads for a couple of seconds and then went to bed , Jake filmed a video for a couple of minutes after a work out then work out again”
“They really trying to push this narrative that Mike has a chance against Jake this a prize fight there’s no way Mike wins he’s 57”
In February 2023, Jake Paul suffered his lone professional boxing loss when Tommy Fury defeated him by split decision. Since then, ‘The Problem Child’ has bounced back with a unanimous decision win against Nate Diaz and first-round knockouts against Andre August and Ryan Bourland.
Paul’s latest fight against Bourland took place on March 2, when he extended his record to 9-1 (6 KOs).
