Now, the question on everyone’s mind is: How will this extra weight impact his performance? According to Mosley, despite being heavier, Jake feels just as agile and quick as he did when he was lighter. This could mean a whole new level of power behind his punches without sacrificing the speed that’s made his previous fights so dynamic.

Jake Paul isn’t the only fighter committed to this fight. Brad Rowe revealed that Mike Tyson at his age is still pushing as much as he can.

Iron Mike’s “Unicorn” training

Despite the physical toll that intense training sessions have had on him, Mike Tyson’s commitment to boxing remains unwavering. Even at 57, Tyson still pushes his limits. Brad Rowe, who helped Tyson prepare for his last exhibition fight, revealed some insights that highlight Tyson’s resilience. “Mike is a unicorn,” Rowe explained to USA Today Sports, “he is stiff and uncoordinated in so many aspects of training. Then when he enters the ring he turns into a ballerina. It’s unexplainable.”

Recalling their training days, Rowe shared, “Day one he’s like, ‘No, f*** you. I’m sprinting.’ So I was like, ‘Alright. Let’s pray for no injuries today.'” Tyson’s determination defies his age, showcasing that the legendary fighter isn’t one to back down easily.

Will Jake Paul’s new-found strength and size give him the upper hand, or will Mike Tyson’s experience and unyielding spirit lead him to victory once more? What do you think?
