Mike Tyson has revealed a huge alteration to his itinerary as he prepares to face Jake Paul in a highly anticipated boxing contest.
Mike Tyson has conceded that something has to give ahead of the Jake Paul bout.
Mike Tyson, a boxing icon, has made a stunning announcement ahead of his fight against Jake Paul in Texas later this year. The former world heavyweight champion has decided to cease recording his ‘Hotboxing’ podcast as he prepares for the big battle at AT&T Stadium, of grueling punchbag workout.
Over the past two years, Tyson’s podcast has featured prominent guests such as UFC commentator Joe Rogan and WWE star The Undertaker (actual name: Mark Calaway). However, the former heavyweight world champion will concentrate on preparing for his battle with Paul.
Meanwhile, the veteran star has been accused of “faking” his viral training videos in recent weeks, with his trainer, Rafael Cordeiro, slamming detractors who claim the 57-year-old is unprepared for the fight. Cordeiro feels Tyson will be able to handle himself well against Paul, despite their big 30-year age difference.
“After first seeing him, it messed with my shoulder,” Cordeiro remarked on The MMA Hour, offering some unique insight into what it’s like to train with a true icon of the sport, going on to say, “I couldn’t hold mitts for at least six, seven months with my boys in the gym.”
“My right shoulder was a big, big mess, and I stopped for a while to take care of my shoulder and do physical therapy,” he said. “Sometimes, I yell 1-2-3, and he is already inside. If I don’t go back, oh Lord. It is impossible. I had to go back.”
“I feel people shouldn’t be concerned. We’re talking about someone who has won two championships. The guy didn’t fight 20 times in two years. He knows how to fight. He competed against the top fighters in the world. When he steps into the ring, he knows what to do. It is nothing new for Mike, and this fight is no exception.
Mike Tyson, a boxing icon, has made a stunning announcement ahead of his fight against Jake Paul in Texas later this year. The former world heavyweight champion has decided to pause recording his ‘Hotboxing’ podcast as he prepares for the big battle at AT&T Stadium.
‘Iron Mike,’ as he’s called by his army of supporters, will return to the ring on July 20 to face social media icon Paul in a massive comeback match nearly two decades after retiring. The bout’s regulations are yet unknown, but we do know that neither guy will wear headgear, and they want it to be considered a professional fight.
Tyson has decided to discontinue his podcast, which he co-hosted with Sebastian Joseph-Day two years ago, to focus on his training for the next fight. In recent days, ‘Kid Dynamite’ has charmed fans with his energetic training shows, sharing footage of his preparations on social media.
He announced his decision, saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, these are my final recordings of Hotboxing.” I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this adventure, as well as meeting all of the great folks I interviewed. This is my next step in life; please appreciate the social media updates on my website for my upcoming enterprise. “I love you all.”
