Mike Tyson has always been known as one of the most terrifying fighters alive and at 58 years old, the supernatural power of ‘Iron’ is still on full display.
Now only a week out from his highly controversial professional boxing fight against Jake Paul, tensions are starting to grow more palpable for Mike Tyson.
‘Iron’ Mike was scheduled to take on ‘The Problem Child’ earlier this year in June, but after suffering an ulcer flare-up on a flight, the 58-year-old had to withdraw from the fight, resulting in it being rescheduled.

The ulcer flare-up wasn’t the only concerning bit of health news Tyson has shared with his fans during the preparation for his comeback fight.
The heavyweight boxing legend caused even more concern among the fans when he stated that he is struggling to walk after training, however, fans have grown more confident recently following the release of some training footage.
Although Tyson has attempted to keep his training footage away from social media as much as possible, Most Valuable Promotion’s recently uploaded a video to their YouTube channel, and it gave fans a sneak peek into Tyson’s fight camp.
At the end of the nine-minute video ‘Iron’ Mike’s coach, Rafael Cordeiro, showed the camera a boxing pad that Tyson had punched in half due to his supernatural power.
“Broke. Broke. Can you imagine Jake’s face? If you make this, this is really good equipment. Couldn’t handle the punch, Mike’s punch. Can you imagine that kid? Whoo!” Cordeiro said.

During the video, Tyson is seen doing a lot of strength and conditioning work with his small team of trainers, as well as sparring for several rounds.
The 58-year-old was recently visited by the legendary manager of Muhammad Ali, Gene Kilroy. Kilroy having known Tyson since he was 13-years-old was relieved at how physically strong Tyson looks, claiming it’s the best he’s ever seen him.
In the video on MVP’s YouTube channel, the undisputed heavyweight champion sends his sparring partner through the ropes after landing a hellacious-looking left hook, which marked the end of their sparring session.
“You break him, unpredictable. Exactly Mike! Beautiful, roll Mike! It’s a beautiful game. Complete, there’s nothing to say. You’re complete,” Cordeiro told Tyson following his sparring.
The highly controversial professional bout goes down on November 15 from the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and it will air live on Netflix.
