The fight agreed between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has more news every day and acquires greater value, and for that reason the former heavyweight champion is taking the fight seriously to the point of saying that he is training 24 hours a day.
Although it may seem unlikely to believe it, during an interview on the Hannity program this Tuesday, Tyson was questioned about his preparation for the duel against Paul and he surprised by saying that he is practically in the gym all day.
“I take it seriously 24 hours a day. Then… it all starts again,” commented the former pugilist in front of the cameras, consulted by panelist Sean Hannity, making it clear that not everything means a show despite being an event that will be sponsored by the streaming giant, Netflix.
Tyson’s training videos have caused a real sensation on social networks by showing that he can age and the way he throws and dodges punches has not expired.
👀 Look at Mike Tyson train. 🥊 He’s still a beast! Although he said he is “scared to death” of his upcoming bout with Jake Paul on 7/20, my hope is Mike knocks Jake out quickly in an early round. Stamina, Mike, train for stamina! ✊🏽 pic.twitter.com/FQza9YX34Q

Likewise, Tyson indicated that he hopes to be able to strike down Paul despite it being an exhibition fight and that is why he explained the importance of respecting certain rules for the fight, although he did not explain how they work.
Finally, Tyson said that he is in good health, contrary to the information that a few days ago claimed that he could even cancel the fight, because he would have had heart problems and that he would have to pass the tests of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations ( TDLR) to prove that you are fit to compete.
The fight between Tyson and Paul is expected to become a massive event when it takes place on July 20 at the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys stadium, AT&T Stadium, being the launch of the boxing space that Netflix wants to implement for its streaming platform.
