Mike Tyson, at 58 years old, is looking in phenomenal shape as he prepares for his first professional fight in nearly two decades against YouTube star Jake Paul. The two will face off in a special boxing event airing live on Netflix, and Tyson’s shredded physique at the official weigh-ins on Thursday left many impressed.
Despite his age, Tyson’s dedication to training was evident as he took to the scales looking as physically prepared as ever. Details of his weight have not been publicly released, as the weigh-ins were closed to the media and public. However, Paul’s promotion company, Most Valuable Promotions, will disclose Tyson’s weight, as per the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
Tyson has kept a calm and focused demeanor in the days leading up to the fight, emphasizing that his primary goal is to step back into the ring, rather than engage in any promotional hype. With less than 24 hours remaining until the special eight-round bout, Tyson is ready for his return to the sport.
Jake Paul, who is stepping up to the heavyweight division for this highly anticipated match, also appeared in excellent physical condition. Throughout his training camp, Paul made light-hearted comments about the amount of weight he was gaining for the fight, but he too looked focused and ready for the challenge.
Following the official weigh-ins, the fighters will come face-to-face one final time during the ceremonial weigh-ins, set to begin at 7 p.m. ET Thursday. The countdown to this historic fight is nearly over, with Tyson and Paul preparing to settle the score in the ring.
