"For a 57 yr old it's impressive" - Fans react as Mike Tyson shows off sprinting in training video

The two will fight on July 20, 2024 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Their fight will be globally broadcast on streaming giant Netflix's platfrom.

There have been concerns raised over the age disparity between the 57-year-old Tyson and Paul, who is aged only 27. Tyson has been confident that his physique will hold up against his younger opponent. In a recent video uploaded to X (formerly known as Twitter), Tyson showed off part of his training.

In the video, Tyson is seen sprinting over a short distance.

Mike Tyson announces new venture as matchup against Jake Paul looms

Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield's second fight is infamous for being one of the most bizarre bouts in history. In the third round of their fight in 1997, Tyson bit Holyfield's right ear and spat it out onto the canvas.

Tyson's license was revoked as a consequence of his illegal move and he was also fined heavily.

Almost 25 years later, Tyson and Holyfield teamed up to work on and produce edible cannabis sweets in the shape of Holyfield's bitten ear. The two also promoted it with a comedic advertisement.

According to latest reports, the edibles are back with a new name 'Mikes Bites'.
