Mike Tyson surprises boxing fans with incredible punching power ahead of fight against Jake Paul

Mike Tyson has stunned boxing fans with his remarkable punching power ahead of his fight with Jake Paul next month.

The 58-year-old has been training hard for the fight, which will be his first since his friendly against Roy Jones Jr in 2020.


The showdown was originally scheduled to take place on July 20th.

However, both men had to postpone their clash because Tyson was suffering from a stomach ulcer.

Tyson worried some fans when he said he was having difficulty walking.

But he doesn't seem to have lost any of his incredible power, as new recordings prove.

Tyson shared a video of himself hitting the pads on Instagram and many users were amazed by the short clip.

“This coach is fighting for his life despite all these protective measures,” were the words of one fan.

Tyson will be hoping to turn back the years when he takes on Paul, having lost his last professional fight to Kevin McBride in 2005.

Shane Mosley, Paul's old trainer, has warned the 27-year-old that he could really “hurt himself” in the early stages of the fight.

Mosley also believes Paul “doesn’t understand” how hard Tyson can hit despite his age.

“If Mike really hits Jake, Mike can really hurt Jake, and I know what Mike and Jake can do,” he told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

“People need to understand that a bar fight between two men is one thing. A professional fighter, especially a former world champion, regardless of age, is still a very dangerous man who can seriously hurt you.”

“I don’t know how much longer they could hurt you (laughs), but these are punches from people who have been throwing punches all their lives.”
