Mike Tyson and Jake Paul have been sharing training videos in preparation for their upcoming exhibition fight on July 20th.
Tyson recently posted a video of himself sprinting, which has raised some concerns among fans. The video shows Tyson looking encumbered and not as fast as some would expect from the former heavyweight champion. Some commentators have questioned whether Tyson still has the physical abilities to compete at a high level.
However, those who have trained with Tyson claim that he is still a formidable opponent. Darnell Rowe, who worked with Tyson before his fight against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, described Tyson as a “unicorn” who is capable of surprising his opponents. Rowe also spoke about Tyson’s unconventional training methods, which include sprinting around tennis courts and focusing on effectiveness rather than form.
Abel Sanchez, who has trained several world champions, expressed concern that Tyson could injure himself during the fight due to his stiff running form. However, others, such as Buddy McGirt, who has also trained world champions, believe that Tyson’s unorthodox approach may give him an advantage.
As the fight approaches, the debate over Tyson’s fitness and abilities will continue. Fans will have to wait until July 20th to see if Tyson can prove that he still has what it takes to be a contender.
