The legendary athlete and boxer Mike Tyson is preparing hard these days for the expected boxing match against the controversial influencer Jake Paul, which will take place in a fortnight on November 15 in Texas. The popular hornbill will enter the ring at the respectable age of 58, however, he clearly showed on social networks that age is just a number. She looks incredible.
Your chin is guaranteed to drop and you’ll probably say out loud: I’d like to look like that too. And the legendary Tyson recently celebrated his 58th birthday, but you probably wouldn’t know it from his body. He has now shared a year’s progress on social media as he prepares for his upcoming pro fight against Paul. The Sun server, for example, noticed a significant change.
And of course it is met with praise. After all, Tyson commands respect just with his musculature, which he has raised to a new level. He has become a hungry “beast” who is doing everything to avoid embarrassing himself with a significantly younger opponent in mid-November. You could almost say that the 58-year-old sportsman resembles the famous Tyson from the peak era, when he successfully conquered the heavyweight division and became its champion.
If you are over 50 years old, then you surely know that preparation involves something completely different than for a significantly younger individual. In addition, Tyson last stood in a professional ring more than nineteen years ago (2005), since then he has only tried exhibitions for which he may not have been nearly as ready. Now he has prepared his body for an unpredictable fight, in which there is a big question mark as to how it will actually turn out.
It is certain that the American legend has already won at least in part. She showed the world that she has not forgotten anything about her art and that she can still prepare for the top level. Tyson toils unstoppably in the gym with dumbbells or on the bars, and there is also no shortage of training sessions with his boxing partners. He even recently sent one of these to the ground and had to be stopped by the ropes from the next step by a watching trainer.
He earned praise, for example, from the mentioned Paul, who is preparing for his eleventh fight among professionals. “He looks incredible, kind of like the Hulk. But I’ll still destroy you,” he assured under the post on social networks.
However, Tyson boasts that it only takes a fraction of his best performance to triumph. “No matter how old I am, this guy has ten fights under his belt. If I just put a little bit of experience into it, I’ll succeed. I can only fight ten percent and still he can’t match me. And I’m saying that honestly.” states the American in an interview with The Sun.
The fight between Tyson and Paul is coming, on November 15 it will also be broadcast live on the popular Netflix platform.
