WATCH: Mike Tyson’s Leaked Sparring Footage for Jake Paul Fight, Head Movement and Combinations Reminds of His Young Days

Ahead of the exhibition match against Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium on July 20th, Jake Paul surprised the boxing world when he trained with boxers from Team USA at the Colorado Springs Olympic & Paralympic Training Center. The likes of Jennifer Lozano and Morelle McCane helped ‘The Problem Child’ at above 6000 feet. Undoubtedly, Paul proved that he was taking the Mike Tyson fight seriously. In the wake of this incident, footage of Mike Tyson’s training has now been leaked!

In the footage, Mike Tyson is working on the style Cus D’Amato specifically designed for ‘Iron’. With his movement, Tyson reminds the fans of his younger days when he looked destructive in the ring. Here is how Tyson is preparing for the Jake Paul fight.

Watch out, Jake Paul: Mike Tyson is working on his Peekaboo style

When Mike Tyson made his professional debut as a Heavyweight, he was relatively short. Therefore, his trainer Cus D’Amato invented a specific style for ‘Iron’ Mike. It was the famous peekaboo style which helped Tyson avoid shots, close in on the distance, and land his punches on the opponent. In his latest training videos, Tyson was seen working on the peekaboo style ahead of the fight against Jake Paul on July 20th. Besides dodging punches, the 57-year-old landed a few bombs!

In one clip, Mike Tyson is sparring with his gears on. Here, as his partner attacks him with a combination consisting of the jab, right hand, and hooks, Tyson ducks while in proximity. Soon, as the partner is about to return, Tyson chases and retaliates with a jab and a cross. Honestly speaking, although Tyson reminds one of his younger days with the peekaboo style, his reaction time and accuracy aren’t the same.

In the other clip, Tyson is hitting the mitts. He is seen throwing a three-punch combo which consists of a jab, cross, and a left hook. Despite the noise made by the collision between the gloves and the mitts, Tyson looks tired. In addition, the 57-year-old is hardly as fluid as he used to be. At this, the concern about Mike Tyson’s health against a young bull like Jake Paul [in Oscar De La Hoya’s language] remains.
