    Mike Tyson's latest training footage ahead of Jake Paul fight exposed by fans

    By James Evans & Rich Jones,

    With only a month left, Mike Tyson has chosen to share some training footage ahead of his face-off with Jake Paul, but things aren't quite as they appear.

    The contentious boxing match between the two celebrities is set for Friday, November 15 in Arlington, Texas at the AT&T Stadium, with up to 90,000 spectators expected. Tyson hasn't participated in a professional bout since 2005, when he was defeated by Kevin McBride.

    The American's most recent fight was an exhibition against fellow icon Roy Jones Jr behind closed doors four years ago. As for Paul, 'The Problem Child' has been consistently active since his debut in 2020. The 27-year-old triumphed over former UFC fighter Mike Perry in his latest match back in July.

    Tyson was originally slated to fight the social media sensation in July, but the boxing legend had to delay his comeback due to an inflamed ulcer . The American was advised to halt training on his doctor's orders but has recently returned to the gym and asserts he will be ready to step into the ring next month.

    As both men approach the final stages of their respective training camps, they have been relatively silent about posting footage on social media. However, with less than 50 days remaining, Tyson recently decided to take to Instagram to showcase his preparation for the contest.

    In a recent social media post, 'Iron Mike' posted a video to his social media account, showing him hitting the pads and captioning it "Final stretch. Less than 50 days left."

    However, many fans exposed the fact that the clip is old footage. Since pulling out in July, the 58-year-old has avoided posting training clips to his social media accounts ahead of the November date.

    Despite some fans spotting the outdated footage, many still commented on the clip. One user wrote: "He got faster.. oh ya Jake cooked". Another commented: 'Yeah Jake might be in trouble" and a third posted: "Still scary AF!

    "While many fans praised and supported the former heavyweight world champion, some remain skeptical. "Yes he looked this fast on the pads before he fought Jones JR but he was mad slow during the actual fight. I still think Mike is one of the greatest boxing figures but he should stay retired.

    "He's not half as good as he used to be 20 years ago. He's too old," one fan wrote. Another commented: "Jake Paul WILL knock out Mike Tyson". A third posted: "This is so ridiculous nobody is going to pay money to see you fall on the floor. "

    Watch out for his left Jake, while you're dancing right to avoid his right. You wouldn't have dared do this in his prime. What do you want to bet it's a left cross?
