Fans and Jake Paul's former opponent, Mike Perry, are impressed by Mike Tyson's physique heading into his upcoming boxing match.

On Nov. 15, Paul will face arguably the most intriguing challenge of his controversial boxing career. The 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-fighter is scheduled to headline a massive event inside the AT&T Stadium, with his opponent being heavyweight legend Tyson.

Paul vs. Tyson has received plenty of backlash due to the latter being 58 years old. To make matters worse, 'Iron' hasn't fought in four years and had their initial date of July 20 postponed due to an ulcer flare-up.

Despite the concerns, Tyson looks to be in phenomenal shape for the eight-round boxing match. The heavyweight legend recently posted a picture of himself on Instagram and added the following caption:

"Ripped and ready #PaulTyson"

Fans took to the comments section and hyped up Tyson:

"My God, Iron Mike looks incredible. Give him hell Mike!"
"That shirts an XL and it looks like if I’m wearing a large or medium, @jakepaul you in trouble bro 😂" - Mike Perry
"Let’s GO!! Mike looks so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥"
"Please win. Save boxing."

Mike Tyson's last fight was an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020. Tyson vs. Jones Jr. featured a similar ruleset to Jake Paul vs. Tyson, more specifically the eight two-minute rounds.

As for Paul, he last fought on July 20, defeating short-notice opponent Mike Perry by sixth-round knockout.


Mike Tyson listed as a betting underdog against Jake Paul

There have been several phases of fan expectations for Mike Tyson. Most people have voiced their concern for the age difference of 31 years between him and Jake Paul. Meanwhile, others believe Tyson's killer mentality and experience advantage could lead to an upset win inside the AT&T Stadium.

According to Bovada, Tyson is a +220 betting underdog, with Paul as a -275 favorite. 'The Problem Child' also has +120 odds to win by KO/TKO/DQ, making it a strong possibility that the judges aren't needed on Nov. 15.

With a win against Tyson, Paul would extend his professional boxing record to 11-1. The 27-year-old has plans to become a world champion, but he can't overlook the legendary heavyweight who plans to halt his momentum.
