Mike Tyson Officially Resumes Training After Postponing Fight with Jake Paul: Footage Speaks Volumes
Mike Tyson has officially returned to training ahead of his anticipated bout with Jake Paul, and the footage speaks volumes.
Tyson was originally scheduled to face Paul at the end of this month until he encountered a medical emergency on a flight from Los Angeles to Miami in May.
He experienced nausea and dizziness following a flare-up of an ulcer and was rushed to the hospital.
The fight between Tyson and Paul was subsequently postponed after the former heavyweight world champion received warnings from medical professionals.
The heavyweight clash has now been rescheduled for November 15, with ‘The Problem Child’ set to face former UFC star Mike Perry on the original date of July 20. ‘Iron’ Mike has shared clips of his training camp on social media in the lead-up to his return to the ring.
And he looks formidable, showcasing his power and hand speed while boxing with trainer Rafael Cordeiro.
The 57-year-old has documented his training process on Snapchat, posting a series of videos to his loyal fans.
Paul will welcome Tyson back to the professional arena when they meet later this year.
However, the 27-year-old is “praying and hoping” the boxing legend is “okay” and “healthy” amidst concerns over his well-being.
“He’s ready; he just needs a few more weeks of training. We’re just praying and hoping everything is fine and that he’s always healthy,” he said.
“That’s the first and foremost thing. He’s Mike Tyson at the end of the day. He has deadly knockout power and a lot of experience. I think it’s going to be a brawl no matter what.”
Tyson hasn’t fought professionally since June 2005 when he suffered a surprising defeat to Ireland’s Kevin McBride.
However, he did have an exhibition match against fellow legend Roy Jones Jr in November 2020.
As for Paul, the boxer with a 9-1 record recently secured a significant victory over Ryan Bourland.
