Fans praised Mike Tyson after the legendary heavyweight boxer released his ‘day two’ training footage for his upcoming fight.
On June 20, one of the most controversial boxing matches of the decade will take place in the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. On one side, twenty-seven-year-old Jake Paul looks to add another legendary name to his resume. To do so, ‘The Problem Child’ must get through 57-year-old Mike Tyson.
Tyson has begun promoting the boxing match by sharing training footage to potentially silence the critics. ‘Iron’ recently released a sequel to his ‘day one’ video by posting another sneak peek on Instagram, where he had this to say before destroying pads for less than a minute:
“Day two, I’m getting ready for you.”
Jake Paul started his professional boxing career by taking out celebrities and retired MMA fighters. Yet, he’s changed things up in his last two fights by securing back-to-back first-round knockout wins against aging boxers with more experience in the ring.
Meanwhile, Mike Tyson hasn’t fought since his exhibition draw against Roy Jones Jr in November 2020. Coincidentally, Paul fought on the same night in the co-main event, defeating Nate Robinson by second-round knockout.
