Tyson has revealed all on his training regime for the Jake Paul fight.
Mike Tyson has revealed his training routine for his upcoming fight against Jake Paul – and it got US television host Jimmy Kimmel worried.
Tyson will take on Paul at the AT&T Stadium on November 15. The entire card will be live streamed by Netflix, in a first of its kind event.
They were due to face off in July, but ‘Iron Mike’ was forced to withdraw weeks from the fight after suffering an ulcer flare-up.
Paul got fans confused on Monday when he posted a video of his training routine, which showed him wearing a costume as he lifted weights.
He then posted another video of himself eating chicken wings.
On Monday evening, meanwhile, Tyson appeared as a special guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The 58-year-old discussed his early boxing career as well as his upcoming fight with Paul, which will be the first time he has stepped in the ring competitively since fighting Roy Jones Jr to an exhibition draw in 2020.
This time around, ‘Iron Mike’ will be fighting under professional rules – and before he opened up about his training regime, Kimmel expressed confidence that he could win, even going as far as suggesting that he would place ‘a lot of money’ on such an outcome.
But his opinion changed once he asked Tyson how he was preparing for the fight.
The boxing legend said: “I’m training extremely hard. I’m starting at 11…”
Kimmel then exclaimed: “11? 11am?”
Tyson said: “Yeah, 11 in the morning.”
Kimmel dropped his head into his hands, before replying: “Oh no…”
Jimmy Kimmel immediately lost all confidence in Mike Tyson beating Jake Paul 😭”I start at 11,” Tyson continued. “And then I might leave the gym at 5. There’s a small break. After I finish my boxing, I get a massage for an hour. Then I go right into my strength and conditioning.”
Kimmel then asked if there was a possibility that Tyson would be ‘high on marijuana’, to which he was told that would indeed be a possibility.
The host then sighed: “See, now my bet’s getting lower and lower as we talk!”
