Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson threw some hurtin' bombs in his open workout for Jake Paul.
While he's no longer the youthful heavyweight champion he once was, there's a saying that power is the last thing to leave an ageing fighter, and that looks to be the case for Tyson, who still packs a punch at 58.Gunning for KO #45 on his pro record is Tyson, who has not fought professionally since 2005 and is a few years removed from an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr.
"There's a fundamental difference between me and Jake," Tyson said of the influencer-turned-boxer on Netflix's Countdown for the fight. "He's a manufactured killer. Television and papers made him a killer. He's manufactured. I'm a natural-born killer."To no surprise, Tyson got the biggest pop of the night from the fans, entering the ring for open workouts at Toyota Music Factory on Tuesday.
Holding pads is harder than it looks, with Cordeiro bracing for impact on Tyson's short bursts and vintage combos, which Paul will have to watch out for, especially in the early stages of their eight-round matchup.Perhaps, a different fire lit under Tyson this time around with his family behind him, the former champion said in his post-workout interview:
"Family's everything. To my children, I'm nobody. But that night, they're going to find out their father is very special."UFC Fight Night London Officially Booked for O2 Arena in Early 2025Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is ‘Rocky Balboa’ Retold Almost 2 Decades Later
