Despite doubts because of his age, Mike Tyson is confident about emerging victorious in his upcoming fight against Jake Paul. The YouTuber and the former heavyweight champion will go toe-to-toe with Paul on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. However, the latest picture update from the Tyson training camp has left fans buzzing about his upcoming fight. 

The 57-year-old boxing legend, soon to turn 58, had raised concerns about his health following the announcement of the fight in early March. During the same time, an old clip of Tyson using a cane to walk had also surfaced online, escalating the worry among fans. However, after this latest picture shared by Tyson’s coach, Rafael Cordeiro, on social media recently, things seem a lot different. 

Cordeiro compares Mike Tyson to a “war tank”

Turning to Instagram, Cordeiro shared a picture of Tyson donning boxing gloves in a ring while he stands beside Tyson just beyond the ropes. Despite the passage of time, Tyson exuded a timeless vigor, his muscular forearms bulging with power, and an aura of intimidation that fans recognize all too well. 

The Brazilian mixed martial arts coach captioned the post, “A real war tank! Let’s go together,” as per a translation. Seeing this ferocious version of Tyson, which had seemingly been in slumber for the past few years, fans were quickly filled with a newfound hope. The hope that when ‘Iron’ Mike enters the ring in July, Paul will taste the canvas.

Fans predict a quick end to the fight

With all the anticipation in the air about the impending clash, it didn’t take long for the picture to grace every fan’s eyes. One user suggested the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ is still harbored inside Tyson. So, when Jake Paul enters the ring with him, he will learn not to cross paths with such a beast. The user wrote, “The prime Mike Tyson is still inside the older Mike Tyson.. The amount of fight, punches, power and speed that he has left inside him will remind Jake Paul to never come out of his lane ever again..”

According to another person, whenever Tyson punches someone, hair stops growing in that area. The user wrote, “Where you hit it, no more hair grows.” Though a bit over the top, the user tried to express his take on Tyson’s power.

Someone else thought a younger version of Tyson was slowly waking up inside the 57-year-old. “The younger Mike Tyson is rising up in him!! Let’s go,” the user commented.

One Instagram user showcased their predictions for the fight, claiming Tyson would win the fight before the sixth round. “I bet Mike wins before the 6th round so either points or knockout,” the user commented. 

These responses suggest that fans are starting to overlook the age gap between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. However, that might not be the case for everyone. What are your thoughts on the picture from Tyson’s training camp? Let us know in the comments.
