Mike Tyson is shredded ahead of his match-up with Jake Paul

At the peak of his powers, Mike Tyson was nothing short of an absolute wrecking machine, with an aura so fierce it shook even the most formidable of boxers to their boots.

Renowned for his famous Peek-a-boo style, the legend would bob and weave in front of his opponents before unleashing lightning combinations that sent anyone they touched spiraling towards the canvas.

Alas, at the age of 58, ‘Iron Mike’ is a long way removed from the man he was in his glorious prime.

Therefore, at his best, while he would’ve handily finished Jake Paul, with the YouTuber so much younger than him, he’s remarkably facing an uphill battle to claim the victory.

However, if he is to succumb to Paul’s thunderous right hard, it certainly won’t be because he didn’t put the work in throughout training camp.

In a testament to his mindset, the sporting icon has gotten himself into fantastic condition, uploading a video to his YouTube channel, in which he looks nothing short of sensational.

Of course, this has prompted his army of subscribers to head to the comment section to offer their hero well wishes.

One fan said: “I watched this man knock buildings over when I could barely walk. Seeing him in this shape again is inspiring. If Mike wants it, I want it too. Go get him.”

Another wrote: “Seeing Mike at this age throwing four punches in less than one second, blows up my mind. Wow, what a great champ! Living legend.”
