Jake Paul is impressed by Mike Tyson’s ripped comeback physique.
The former undisputed heavyweight world champion is set to fight professionally for the first time since 2005 when he takes on Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium in Texas on November 15.
Many fight fans are deeply concerned about the 58-year-old boxing legend going up against a man 31 years his junior, who has dedicated himself to the sport in recent years.
However, ‘Iron Mike’ has managed to win some people around during camp.

Mike Tyson looks ripped ahead of his comeback bout
Mike Tyson has been sharing lots of footage from his first fight camp in two decades on social media.
The boxing legend recently posted a clip that showed him knocking down one of his sparring partners.
On Saturday, Tyson uploaded footage of him shirtless during a training session with Gene Kilroy, who was Muhammad Ali’s manager during the height of his career.
After first forming a relationship with Tyson as a teenager, Kilroy couldn’t believe what he was seeing in the gym.
He said: “This is the strongest I’ve ever seen you. And I’ve known you since you were 13. This impresses the s*** out of me. Nothing impresses me.
“I’m going to tell you the truth. I don’t lie. I was worried about him traveling here, traveling there. I can sleep now at night. This is great.
“You done more workouts than what I’ve seen you do the whole time you fought Lennox Lewis. Am I right or wrong?”
“I’m proud of you, Mike. I’m proud of you. It’s a new generation.”
Tyson shared footage of his interaction with Kilroy to Instagram, with the caption: “Jake’s wake in 20 days.”
The YouTuber-turned-boxer, who is looking to improve his pro record to 11-1 against Tyson, took to the comment section to praise his rival for getting in such great shape, while simultaneously insisting that being ripped won’t help him.
“Fair play Mike,” Paul wrote: “You look incredible. Hulk s***. But I’m still f***ing you up in 20 days.”
Jake Paul offers $5M bet to Mike Tyson
Paul is so confident that he will KO Tyson, that he’s proposed a $5million bet ahead of their controversial fight.
The 27-year-old says all that Tyson has to do to take home an extra few million is survive four rounds.
However, if he accepts the bet and suffers a quick KO, he must get an ‘I love Jake Paul’ tattoo as a forfeit.
“Mikey, Mikey, if you can last more than four rounds with me, I’ll give you an extra $5 million,’’ Paul said in a video shared on the Betr X account.
“But, if you don’t, then you have to get a tattoo that says I love Jake Paul. Deal or no deal?’’
Paul’s bold bet was initially met with silence. Eventually, Tyson appeared to turn down the offer.
It seems he wants more money if he’s going to risk getting such a terrible tattoo.
“He should offer more,’’ Tyson told USA TODAY. “Tell him probably about 20 (million).”
