Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are just one day away from their huge clash, and it’s a fight that has the boxing world very excited.
Tyson will step into the ring for a professional contest for the first time in 19 years as he looks to turn back the clock against the popular YouTuber.
Preparing for his biggest test in almost two decades, Tyson has taken on a tough training regime, but footage from his camp has demonstrated some qualities including his power and speed.
The biggest concern for Tyson will be his age, 58, and the fact he’s spent such a long time out the ring after his last two fights both ended in stoppage losses.

Zhilei Zhang, a big contender at heavyweight, was a huge admirer of Tyson when he fought at his peak, and he’s the latest high profile fight figure to deliver his verdict on the imminent battle.
“I know a lot of people have their own opinions on this fight and whether or not it should happen, but in my opinion, I watched Mike Tyson's fights growing up and he's like the god of war in my mind,” said Zhang when speaking to AceOdds.
“Now in his 60s, he's fighting with a guy in his 20s, which is an incredible achievement. I really hope for the best for him and I wish him good luck.”
