Mike Tyson training update provided ahead of Jake Paul boxing fight
Mike Tyson is gearing up to make his return to boxing against social media influencer Jake Paul, with the bout scheduled for Friday, November 15, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which can hold up to 90,000 spectators. This will be Tyson's first significant match since his 2005 loss to Kevin McBride. His recent fight was an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. that took place without an audience in 2020.
Originally planned for July, Tyson had to delay the fight due to an inflamed ulcer, but has resumed training, obtaining clearance from his medical advisors, and is confident that he'll be ready for the ring. Ali Abdelaziz, a close friend and prominent MMA manager, has assured that Tyson is in excellent condition for the upcoming bout, reflecting on Tyson’s legendary status across continents as a reason none other than his family, including a devoted voice like himself, should dictate his fighting choices.
While preparing, Tyson has dealt with some physical challenges, admitting recently to difficulties post-sparring. However, Abdelaziz expressed excitement, endorsing Tyson to claim victory over Paul. He believes Mike's iconic status places him as a main feature over Paul, rebuffing the relevance of Paul in the sporting world.
In preparation, Tyson trains under Rafael Cordeiro, dedicating up to six hours daily. His routine starts at 11 am and includes a minor lunch break, a commitment he shared with Jimmy Kimmel. Tyson displays unwavering motivation, albeit with a casual hint to maintain his lively persona even possibly indulging in marijuana during the match, as light-hearted remarks with Kimmel revealed.
Abdelaziz critiques Paul's leverage on Tyson’s fame for attention, asserting Tyson’s name deserves precedence. Despite the skepticism from fans doubting Tyson’s fight seriousness, his enduring recognition and extensive training prepare him to face Paul head-on.
