    Heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson has released more footage from his training camp as he gears up to share the ring with YouTuber-turned-pugilist Jake Paul.

    Almost two decades on from his last professional outing and over 22 years removed from his most recent win, "Iron Mike" is set to lace the gloves again to headline the very first live combat sports event to be broadcast on the Netflix streaming platform .

    The event, which also features an undisputed title rematch between super lightweight champion Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano , will take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on July 20, and will see Tyson throw down with a divisive figure in Paul.

    Throughout his boxing venture, "The Problem Child" has been criticized for targeting ageing mixed martial arts veterans such as Ben Askren and Nate Diaz. And despite appearing to be pursuing a conventional route up the boxing ladder in his last two fights, the decision to fight an "Iron Mike" who will be 58 come fight night has drawn plenty of scrutiny.

    Tyson himself has looked to answer critics of the matchup with numerous gym videos, the most recent of which saw him hitting the pads.

    Fans Unsure After Tyson's Short Training Clip

    Members of the combat sports community online were quick to flood the comments section with their thoughts on Tyson's current condition and boxing form.

    Some pointed to the short nature of the clip to express concern over how much the veteran will have to give on fight night. Others, however, are predicting a brutal night at the office for Paul.
