The age difference between the heavyweight legends is 31 years Tyson and Paul many express their own fear for the health of the formerwho is 58 years old.

However, training footage released on Monday strongly suggests that “Iron Mike” can land a flurry of punches against the boxer-turned-YouTuber.

One of his trainers said he was in great shape, saying: “Movement is great, agility is great. The condition is excellent, the strength is incredible.

“It was the best we’ve seen him.”

The video then cuts to him delivering a stunning left hook to another trainer’s pads, a noise that sends shivers down the spine of an overconfident Paul.

Then Tyson worked up a sweat, performing several devastating combinations in the ring at lightning speed.

“It will be a tough night,” added the coach.

In March, it was announced that Tyson and Paul were going to separate on July 20.

However, the fight was postponed due to exacerbation of Tyson’s ulcer.

Tyson has not fought professionally since losing to Kevin McBride in June 2005.

He returned to the ring in 2020 when he fought fellow heavyweight boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. in a split decision.

While Tyson is certified boxing royalty, Paul is relatively new to the fight game with his first professional fight coming in January 2020 where he defeated fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib via first round knockout.

Paul boasts a professional boxing record of 10-1, with his only loss coming against Tyson Fury’s brother, Tommy Fury, in February 2023.
