Jake Paul has released revealing footage ahead of his fight against Mike Tyson – but fans have been left asking questions.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer will face heavyweight icon Tyson on November 15, who has been widely criticized due to the 30-year age difference.
And Paul – who is moving up to heavyweight – gave fans a rare glimpse of his preparations by releasing a short clip in sparring.
But one said: “Do better than this. Mike Tyson will take your head off.”
Another said: ‘Jake Paul is going to fall asleep fighting like this.’
One asked: “Dude looks slow and dirty, what happened to him?”
But his former trainer BJ Flores argued: “That body blow makes the right hand heavy all day.
“Great punch selection. Amazing speed for a heavyweight.”
Tyson, 58, has also released carefully crafted training collections that have fans wondering what they’re seeing.
The already controversial clash came under further scrutiny when Tyson withdrew from the initial July 20 date due to a stomach ulcer problem.

He has since been deemed medically fit to continue training and is required to undergo additional brain and heart testing before his fight.
Meanwhile, Paul, 27, has ten wins and only one loss in the boxing ring, a split-decision loss to 25-year-old Tommy Fury in 2023.
Despite facing Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition bout in 2020, Tyson will return for his first professional fight since 2005.
Their return also marks Netflix’s first foray into live boxing while the Dallas Cowboys’ 80,000-seat stadium plays host.
But Paul has been forced to defend the fight for ages.
he told daily Mail: “Mike does what Mike wants to do, and he’s the one you know he wanted to make it a professional fight.
“He still wants to do it, and he believes he can really kick my ass behind the scenes.
‘For him, age is just a number, and he looks athletic, he looks strong, and he looks good in the mitts, so we’ll see how that plays out in the ring.’
