STILL GOT IT

Watch 55-year-old Mike Tyson throw vicious body hooks in training with boxing legend linked with Jake Paul fight

MIKE TYSON has released a clip of him delivering vicious body hooks in training amid speculation he could fight Jake Paul.

Both Iron Mike, 55, and the YouTuber confirmed their interest in facing each other despite their 30-YEAR age difference.

Things seem to have settled down recently as Paul’s former sparring partner, Anthony Taylor, warned that the two stars are too friendly with each other to fight.

However, former heavyweight champion Tyson has provided more evidence that he has lost none of his ferociousness with his latest video.

And he clearly still packs a punch as he delivered several huge body hooks. 

Tyson had a shock comeback fight in 2020, drawing over eight-rounds against fellow boxing icon Roy Jones Jr, 53.

But Iron Mike later lost interest in a second fight to avoid hangers-on looking to profit from him.

That was until YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul called out the youngest heavyweight champion in history.

The celebrity prizefighter is only 5-0 himself, most recently knocking out Tyron Woodley, 40, in December after beating him on points before.

It added to KOs over gamer 'AnEsonGib', ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37.

Paul, 25, is set to return on August 13 for his sixth professional bout having not yet faced a recognised boxer.

But the American audaciously claimed he would beat Canelo Alvarez, 31, in just three years after the Mexican lost to Dmitry Bivol, 31.

However, Paul looks set to be given the green light to fight Anderson Silva in California next.
