Jake Paul is more than elated to face Mike Tyson in only the 11th professional fight of his career on July 20th. On the other hand, Tyson believes Paul has improved a lot since ‘The Problem Child’ fought Nate Robinson on the undercard of Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. Likewise, ‘Iron Mike’ is excited to defeat Paul and dash the latter’s journey to become a world champion. However, several figures have disapproved of the match. Paul’s rival KSI is one of them.
Lately, the CEO of Misfits ridiculed the fact that Paul was fighting Tyson. Calling Tyson old, KSI questioned Paul’s choice of opponents and desire to be a champion. On that note, Paul now jabbed back at KSI with a clip of Tyson’s latest training clip.

In the latest episode of ImPaulsive, KSI bemoaned the fact that Jake Paul, 27, was fighting Mike Tyson, 57. Branding the fight as “super sad,” KSI argued that Paul was in a “loose-loose” situation. In KSI’s opinion, even if Paul knocked out Tyson in their upcoming fight, there was no glory in it. “Literally, he knocks out Mike Tyson and he’s beaten what, and OAP? Old-Age-Person,” said KSI. “Mike Tyson is 57 years old. Yes, in his prime, this would have been crazy. But now it’s like, this is just sad,” KSI added. In this connection, Jake Paul shared a clip of Tyson training with Rafael Cordeiro. In the video, Tyson threw a four-punch combination as Cordeiro held the mitts. According to Cordeiro, the exercise helped Mike Tyson generate “the greatest force and speed in the shortest amount of time.”

In this regard, since KSI called Mike Tyson vs. Paul “sad,” ‘The Problem Child’ asked if KSI ever looked as good as Tyson, 57, on the mitts. “We know KSI is old but has he looked this good on mitts?” asked Jake. On the other hand, Cordeiro praised Tyson’s techniques. As per his understanding, Tyson’s techniques exceed several active athletes in the sport.
