Mike Tyson has released a new, first-person POV workout video in a terrifying message to Jake Paul.

Tyson returns to action on July 20 when he takes on Paul in an exhibition bout that will be aired on Netflix.

The showdown is set to take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will be the boxing legend’s first appearance since his clash against fellow icon Roy Jones Jr back in November 2020.

Concerns have been raised over the 57-year-old’s wellbeing as he must pass a pre-fight test written into the rules.

Tyson has hit out at current boxers and critics alike for slamming his comeback against Paul, claiming they are ‘jealous’ of both him and his opponent.

But the former world heavyweight champion looks to be in supreme shape, having showed off his legendary power and speed on the pads with coach Rafael Cordeiro.

And he’s shared new footage of his training camp, showing a first-person POV of what Paul will be facing when they meet this summer. Check it out below:

Even though Tyson vs. Paul has been called an exhibition, ‘Iron’ Mike claims he’s preparing himself for a real fight.

“This is called exhibition, but if you look up exhibition, you will not see any of the laws we are fighting under. This is a fight,” he said.

Tyson added: “I don’t think he’s faster than me.

“I’ve seen a YouTube video of him at 16 doing weird dancing, [but] that’s not the guy I’m fighting. This is a guy who’s going to try and hurt me, which I’m accustomed to, and he’s going to be greatly mistaken.”
