The boxing legend, who will be 58 years old at the time of the match, is showing off his amazing fitness ahead of the clash with Paul, who is 30 years younger. They will clash at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, where the NFL team the Dallas Cowboys play.
Tyson is working hard to be in top form for the fight and is clearly making a point of wanting everyone to know - again posting another showcase of power in his latest clip. But not all are buying it.
Chael Sonnen, a famous UFC fighter, claimed Tyson's training videos were illegitimate. He said: "In the future, if you’re ever going to spend five seconds hitting mitts, as a way of making the audience believe you’re doing a training session, make sure you splash water on your face and T-shirt first."
Others, however, think Tyson shouldn't fight Paul. One doctor in particular is concerned for Tyson's health. Stephen Hughes, a senior lecturer in medicine at Anglia Ruskin University said: "In older people, the brain tends to lose volume.
"This lengthens the bridging veins and makes them more vulnerable to rupture. Alcoholism is known to accelerate brain shrinkage, and it appears that Tyson has this as a past risk factor."
Paul has been clear that they won't be wearing headgear for the fight, aiming for it to be an official, professional match.
He took to social media to shut down the claims, stating: "Just a quick message to the people who are complaining about the rules of me versus Mike Tyson. Some TikToker user made a video making up all these fake rules like me and Logan tag teaming him, us wearing headgear, all of this bull****. If you believe that you’re a f*****g idiot and you shouldn’t be allowed to vote, you shouldn’t be allowed to drive on the streets and endanger other people.
"I feel for any dumb*** who believes that and I would never let my fans down in a fight like this and wearing headgear? Come on now people."
