At age 57, Mike Tyson shows off his fitness ahead of his comeback fight/Mike Tyson, X
Quite a few people have expressed concern that Mike Tyson will be injured in his exhibition fight against Jake Paul - a fight that will be held on July 20 - and will be broadcast live on Netflix.
Although the opponent is a YouTuber and an amateur boxer, he is 31 years younger than Tyson and is apparently in better physical shape than him.
But what will happen to Jake Paul if he takes one of the terrifying punches that used to scare every boxer who was supposed to face him.
Mike Tyson, known as "Iron Mike", is considered one of the most devastating knockout boxers in the history of heavyweight boxing, but his last professional fight took place almost two decades ago.
Paul on the other hand, has not been knocked out in his last ten fights, but in the last video he uploaded, he challenged Tyson to do it.

Still scary, even at 57
"I want to see how hard he really hits," Paul said, "Mike, I really want to see, man. Let's see all the legends, the myths, because you're the legendary Mike Tyson, but I've got an iron chin, people know that. I get hit. I think people underestimate my ability to handle his power, and that's what's going to make this fight interesting," Powell said on his podcast.
"Taking on a lot. This is without a doubt the toughest, wildest, deadliest opponent there is, regardless of age, because strength is the last thing to disappear. The reactions to it are crazy. I can hardly believe it, it's completely ridiculous but I really, really appreciate all That. We'll see. I'm excited. Really can't wait to look at him across the ring, see him and give him a crazy killer look."
