Boxing fans make feelings clear on Mike Tyson footage ahead of Jake Paul fight - 'You can still say no'

Boxing fans have been wowed by new footage from Mike Tyson ahead of his bout with Jake Paul, with many fearing for the 27-year-old.

It was recently confirmed the two men would be meeting in a controversial fight on July 20, with Netflix set to stream the showdown to millions all over the world.

Tyson, during his prime years, established himself as one of the best heavyweight boxers of all time, leaving fans in awe and motivated to invest in Sports wagering.

It has been four years since his last battle, however, with the 57-year-old previously drawing an exhibition with Roy Jones Jr in 2020.

Tyson will be 58 by the time he takes on Paul, who is 30 years his junior.

The boxing icon recently uploaded a five-second clip of himself in the gym, with Iron Mike appearing to still possess some of the same power of old.

And fans on X have now expressed fears for Paul, having been blown away by the footage.

"Jake you can still say no. It's ok," said one user.

"Jake Paul about the fight the final boss of Punch Out," were the words of a second.

A third reacted by saying: "Jesh, if just one of those punches lands, Paul will be in the ICU."

A fourth stated: "Jake’s gonna need to borrow some of those pads from Mike’s trainer."

A fifth reacted by saying: "If Mike is the underdog please bet the house. Free money. His legacy won’t be tarnished by losing to a YouTuber fixed or not."

Another said: "Omg Jake Paul going to get lit up."

And a sixth reacted by saying: "Jake's in for a shock."

Tyson spoke to Fox News earlier this month about his fight with Paul.

And the 57-year-old admitted he was 'scared to death' about returning to the ring.

"I have a weird personality - I don't think it's weird though. Whatever I'm afraid to do, I do it.

That's how it is," he said.

"I was afraid of the Roy [Jones Jr. fight [in 2020].

"I was 100 pounds overweight, I was however old, 54, 53, and I said ‘Let’s do it.'
