If Mike can KO jake paul it will be the greatest moment in combat sports history. It will be the comeback of a lifetime. I will be so happy if he pulls it off.
How stupid are fight fans these days. Its an exhibition, no 1 is getting knocked out
Same here
It’s gonna be a repeat of the Tyson Roy Jones fight a glorified sparing session

Was fortunate to meet Iron Mike at Wizard world (comic con ) of all places. His bodyguard at the table stopped me and said 90$ for a picture. He came around from his table and waved me and my kids in to talk to him. He was humble, honest and incredibly funny. Cheers to the champ!
Mike's training so hard I'm getting in better shape just watching him 🥊
Me too, thats exactly what my confidence said... small world 🌎.
😂😂😂👍🏼
same here truly inspirational
Tyson isn’t a KZheadr - he is a icon, he is iron Mike Tyson !
He is also 58 years old
If they let Mike go full out, Jake is not going to know what hit him!!!
I know,he will be on the canvas waking up to millions in his bank after 20 seconds
you know damn well this will be a fixed fight for jake to win.
Mike is almost 60 years old
@@adamshelton5025 Say that when Mike is 59 not 57
@@mikekaraoke kick rocks
Mike! Has this! Go IRON MIKE!!!!!!
Tyson's body shots will take away the youth advantage in minutes,Jake has never been hit with this kind of power before.Tommy Fury gave him all he could handle,this is Mike Tyson,big difference!
Tyson's body shots will take away the youth advantage in SECONDS !!!
I wonder how Mike stamina gonna hold up....he's facing a 27 year old!
@@adangarcia170 Mike will know he's got to get this done fast,Jake is going to take some hard shots in the first rounds for sure,we'll see what kind of chin Jake's got really fast lol
@@adangarcia17027 isn’t that young these days , Jake drinks , smokes , sleeps badly …. It’s not the 80’s and 90’s anymore
@@adangarcia170 What I wonder is how Jake Paul is going to feel when he's alone in the ring with Mike for the first time... when that bell goes.. then we'll know.. you have to admire Jake for even getting in the ring with this legend
Cus D'Amato would be proud
💯 agreed
No he wouldn't lol This is ridiculous, Mike Tyson is an old man who was being stopped by journeymen boxers 20 year ago.
No he wouldn’t he’d be furious 😂
@@Boxing-Basement The big difference is back then he fought because he had to. Then he had to deal with the lackluster end of his career. Now he wants to fight and show the world and himself that he can still do it at his age. He didn’t even want to be in the ring back when he was fighting Holyfield. Look at the guy he has a fire lit under his ass in a major way.
The video of Cus popping Ali in the lips is hilarious
Now I wanna start my own 3 month training regime. If Mike can do it, I can do it. 😁
Mike was trained in that style from such a young age that its built into him . This is a very dangerous fight for Jake and I bet he gets “ injured “ before it happens
All the best Coach 😁🙏🏿
Legendary interview tbh
Watching Tyson work those pads is seeing a true master at his craft. My ribs hurt just watching those body blows…
Pads don’t hit back .
IF Mike comes to actuality fight, this kid's gunna get tf beat out of him. RIP Jake
Anyone with a Lambo van that's handicap-accessible, and for sale, might want to let Jake know
Hes awesome. "One thing i cam gaurnantee, Mikes gunna touch jake. Lets see how jake reacts after being touched by Mike." ✊️
If mike comes out to the ring with that DMX-Intro music, you know he’s coming out to knock Jake’s head off.
Mike is an inspiration to all of us who are older he shows us what can be achieved with hard work and a positive mindset Jake Paul should be very careful
How come I always get choked up when someone speaks about Mike?
Same here...100%
I hope Mike goes for the KO this time unlike his fight against Roy Jones.
That fight gives everyone a clue as to how this fight is going to go!
He was told not to He was holding his punch back
@@Sonofawildanimal4241they don’t have the same rules this time. It’s an “exhibition” but there’s no exhibition rules. It’s basically a pro fight.
Mike Tyson Mentality!!!
"He'd probably knock me out with one of those punches." Did Ariel Helwani forget who he is for a second there?
he clearly did not.

Very good interview my man. I can’t wait to see this fight. I think it’s actually a great fight. We’re both people are at in their lives.👊🏻
what a gentleman,
Get em Mike!!!!
Dare I say Mike is WAY more ferocious on the mitts with sustain.
God damn I can't wait to see Tyson back in full effect!!
The legend
Jake Paul is trying to say that team Tyson are speeding up the videos to make it look like Tyson is faster than he appears, but this just goes to show how Nieve Jake Paul really is. Mike Tyson is a very fast powerful puncher, and he does not need to edit anything because Tyson is the real deal. It makes me wonder if Jake Paul is the one editing his videos because he is a lot slower than Tyson. Jake looks like a schoolboy on a playground compared to Tyson. I foresee Tyson going after Jake in the very first round cutting the off the ring forcing Jake into a corner then Tyson will unleash Hell on that young man. The first hard punch that lands and Jake will be snoozing. I give it to Tyson by knockout in the first round if Jake survives the first round, he will be out of there by round two.
Anybody that's watched Mike Tyson from a 20 year old then you know Tyson is lightning fast. His head movement, his feet, punches have always been fast. Fast forward 38 years later. He's not gon be as fast but you can clearly see it's still there. Evidently he ain't lost that hunger. It's easy for people to picture a 58 year old boxer moving slow and losing a big step in their skills ( Rightfully so) but come on guys this is Mike f..... Tyson
Jake is gonna be scared af when he sees Tyson walking up to him in the ring with that crazy bobbing and weaving head movement.
Mike Tyson always looked faster than any recent heavyweight in boxing or MMA...But he definitely can't be as fast as when he was younger. All the roids and stuff the world can't turn back time. I'm also curious how he can take a punch, not just throw one...and how many rounds he can go...Overall, it's just a nice cash grab for both fighters, but this shouldn't be taking place.
@@iSOBigDIt should be taking place. This version of Mike Tyson is more than enough to face a smaller amateur with very little actual boxing experience. Jake has fought 2 boxers and lost one of those.
This is the most exciting fight in 24 years easy. Iron Mike is back. I can't wait.
I had sciatica in my 20s, it does make it hard to walk, but it's not anything you can't get passed with physical therapy and just getting off your butt. I was competing in weightlifting at the time and still got it. All I had to do was stretch and not lift so much for a few weeks.
Yep, my fiance also has it and she still dances semi-pro every day. She takes a few days off to do some physical therapy, but nothing that should stop you from your goals
Great to see these two boxers make great history for the sport, thank you both for being awesome in the era of my existence.
Excellent job 👏 👍 👌 🙌
Tyson at the age of 12 would have ko'd Jake. He still has all the advantages besides youth and wasn't allowed to punch Roy on the face. Hopefully, he connects with his combination punches and gets the job done unless it's another friendly sparring session like when he fought Roy...
Enough internet bro
He punched Roy in the head.
@@dougdiamond5774barely it was obvious it was a glorified sparring match and they weren't trying to knock each other out.
@@dougdiamond5774He did not. It was no contact.
Diet and training methods always get better. Mike is a one in a generation talent.
Bottom line it Tyson connects once jakes gonna have to pick his tattoos up and put them back on!😃
omg pmsl awesome analogy ffs
hes going to have to pick his head and that be in row z
Cordiero: Jake's a great fighter! Also Cordiero: 1st round ko! 😂
Jake has meh footwork, telegraphs, misses a lot, isnt technically sound, has clear defensive flaws, is smaller, has never taken a CLEAN punch from a power puncher, and has 1/3 the fight IQ.
People dont seem to get it...the reason he was just ok against jones jr was cause he hadnt trained in 15 yrs before jones jr..AFTER jones jr he trained almost everyday...cardio, mitts, sparring, lifting...hes kept himself in shape...4 yrs of being in shape...and NOW hes actually training for a fight...so hell be in shape...the dr with the risk, yeah everyone knows anything can happen but if youre in proper shape ,it isnt crazy to assume hes gonna be the mike we know and love. Jack LaLane...dude was like 70...in shape...pulling boats and cars with his teeth....the human body is amazing and if you are healthy and in shape AND have that mindset that you can do anything, u can. Mikes mindset is insane. That monster is coming back out...and also for logan and ksi to sit there and say logan couldve had the fight, and they both could beat tyson now? THATS FUNNY AF...cause logan and ksi couldnt beat jake....ill give jake credit that hes better than his bro, ksi, hes getting better...and ill give him respect to have balls to want to box tyson...but again i think he thinks itll be easier than it will be...jake is either gonna get kod, or spend the whole time defensively boxing...this is the mens league now jake...you wanted it, u got it...
Ksi did way better against tommy than jake did ksi might have beat tommy so it's kinda of a stretch to say jakes better than ksi when ksi is a step ahead of jake.
Not sure if that true monster in Mike can come e back out, I think Mike has caged that beast! I will say this though, I think if he lands one power shot it's over and his style is very different and accurate!
Mike in his prime it last 15 to maybe 60 sec lol
Tyson in his young days you couldn't be defensive cause he would just rush you and he fills most comfortable fighting up close, really that's what he wants is to get inside and slug it out! If Jake runs away it will make him look bad!
Tyson also was only really punching Roy Jones in the chest
I like the Fedor picture. Beaten up, all is broken. Just his right eye is looking like he was taking a casual walk in the park.
Let's all hope so. Show us what we have all missed for so long mike.
tyson looks as quick as any heavy weight, im not saying he can beat anyone ranked in top 20 , at 58 he cant take a punch like he once did, that said jake paul isnt even ranked , i think paul is going to get hurt
One thing - Mike Tyson does not lie. You ask him a question, you get a straight answer.
LIKE TYSON LOVES CUS D’AMATO!
It's iron real deal mike 🥊💥🔥
Rafael is a legend. Trainer of Axe Murder, Shogun Rua, Werdun, Anderson Silva ....
Anyone who says they not happy for Mike isn't human man. I thought Holyfield had his number in 96', which he did and also chewed my boy Evanders ear!😂😂 Idgaf, Tyson aging like a fine wine!
Mike got the fighter spirt and that fire in his eyes and he's fixing unleash his inner beast and he's about to knock jake paul the fuxk out watch
1000% !!!!!
the upsell is strong with this one
Larry Holmes retired at 52. He was still fighting big names and winning. Mike Tyson is a freak of nature. Not to mention, he KO'd Larry Holmes!
Damn that's the most solid point I've heard that can't be argued
He made Larry Holmes say "I like eggs" in a post fight interview. 😂😂😂
Great questions. Really good
Ironic that no one mentions Mike is on testosterone. That means he's been training for four years now and is in amazing shape thanks to appropriate T levels and his killer instincts. Mikes Back! Jake can only hope he can avoid a one or two round knock out and go the distance to tire Mike out at the end. I think Mike will put Jake down in the first. Good luck Jake... you're going to need it.
The Guy touched one of the sad Time of Tyson life talking about his daughter. Mike is coming to take this boy soul. When Mike Say i will venge you, be sure he will do it no matter what happen that day. "I'm not coming here to Say hey i'm Bob i'm 59, no..." Beware Jake Paul😅
I Love Mike Tyson
Tyson can either pressure him and try to get him out early or conserve energy and go to body when open and go for the ko in the 3-5th round. If those clips are real Tyson looks like he is ageless
Both fighters are on the juice. That will help both of them, but it will help Mike more so, because of his age. Train harder and better recovery time.
1 i totally agree
Crazy fast😮
This was a good interview. Haven't watched Ariel for awhile but seems he maturing in his interview technique and has prescience of mind to redirect focus back to his guest, Coach Rafael. Yes Mike is a bada$$ and there's a lot of focue on him but I appreciate how Ariel still turns back to see how the Coach is doing and how is gym is doing. Good job Ariel.
I think you correctomundo!!
Tyson is the GOAT
man I would love a first round KO for Mike in his last fight, reminding all the young Guys... They would watch all of his highlights the next day. Legendary
Tyson in the 1st...1st PUNCH THAT IS!
This kid Jake Really wants to Knock Mike out so he can say that for the rest of his life, Mike Has to go in hard and take his ass our within 3, Don't know how much Juice Mike has at 58 yrs . Mike Looks Great ....
Believe me, Mike is on the juice and has plenty of juice!😂
I grew up watching MT fights. The thing I remember the most was getting ready for a good fight and they all ended early in 1st or 2nd round. It all ends in about 10 minutes!
Nice.
🔥🔥🔥
Would be incredible if mike pulls it off
Even if Mike doesn't gives him the lesson WE want somebody will gives this young a Big lesson i'm sure
LETS GO IRON MIKE
if there is a metal harder than Iron, he is that.
If Mike is allowed to knock Jake out he's done lol
WHEN Mike corners Jake against the ropes, it's over... Best advice to Jake should obviously be "move"... well, at least entertain us.
Mike is 58 but moves like an 18 years old... Jake is 27 but moves like 60 years old. I'm sure the numbers have confused Jake to accept this fight, he'll find out soon that he's not good with numbers 😂
haha 100% - you got that right.
I think I speak for everyone when I say Tyson knocking out Paul would be the best thing to happen in 2024. Unfortunately, most of us are realistic when it comes to combat sports and the age difference. :(
yeh but if you watched Tysons recent footage.. his speed is INSANE and power is last to go top that with he will be on all the drugs possible I def see him winning
Sure but how long can he do that for? 30 seconds, couple mins? Certainly not multiple rounds.@@ImagineBeingFat
I guess we shall see... I really can't comment on his cardio at his age @@iwishicouldsaveyou3954
@@iwishicouldsaveyou3954he went the distance with Roy Jones Jr but they were basically just sparring.
Yeah exactly it was nothing like his venomous sparring we've all seen.@@micahwest2793
I'm telling you guys now we are getting a TRT Mike Tyson.
I'm sure of it, and it's working. It allows him to train harder and recover faster, which is what an old man needs.
I hope so! At 57 he's earned his PED'S.
@@davidphillips1845 Mike posted a video of him walking out of the TRT clinic. So it's pretty much confirmed.
It makes it fair imo.
Tyson had no stamina 20 years ago..that’s the biggest problem. Tyson can take a punch. He’s taken some big beatings in his day for sure. He has to catch Jake in the first or second round. After that Father Time wins again..
Knocked out in the first 30 seconds
Greatest striking Coach on the Planet!!
I heard Netflix got the same writers for Wrestlemania 40 to script this Tyson fight so it should be interesting. I’m hoping Stone Cold comes out to distract the referee to set up another feud between the two.
Lmao wa....a stunner?!
But am sure he teamed up with stone cold and hit Shawn Michaels at the end!
Hey, its the "Entertainment Hour" lol
The short training clips show his speed and power still there. Jake hasn’t felt that power before. Unfortunately Tyson’s punch resistance won’t be there. At the end of his career he was getting hurt against guys not fit to lace his boots. Whoever connects clean to the jaw wins
I just hope that my boy Mike doesn't kill that dude that's hes fighting!!!!
I reckon he knows me out with one of those punches😂
So, are they allowed to KO each other?
When Mike fought Roy Jones he looked good. He looks better now. Roy being a seasoned fighter and champion knew how to stay away from Mike. He didn’t fight to beat Mike. He fought to not get hit. I’m now sure that Jake will know how to avoid getting hit by Mike.
Mike picked Rafael so Mike can be himself, smoke buds, and control the situation the whole time because he knws Rafael and all the Brasilian guys idolize him. If he went to real boxers and boxing people for this camp like Lennox Louis etc it would be a totally different experience and atmosphere. Not sure what Master Rafael gonna teach Mike in boxing, if anything Mike is teaching him. Should teach him first how to hold pads for a pro boxer
Is he sparring.. that will be the biggest tell if he can still do it or not ?
I hate to tell all of you here in the comments section, that if Mike Tyson were to make a comeback, he'd be world champion again.
I feel like before the internet, fighters would thrive off the feeling of fight night and getting the w with a KO. That would subsequently lead to fame and money. Nowadays, the fame and glory can get obtained online. I don’t think Jake is in it for the fight glory. He is in it for the clout and viral-ness, which is just as powerful as before, without caring abt the outcome.
I give you credit that you would do this you and everyone else knows this is for the money but would you take a hit from mike for a million maybe but he I think is hitting just as hard as he did when he was the champ all I can say is be careful he can hit like a tank just be careful he has knocked guys out big guys that would block and cover right through all of that but good luck to both of you guys 😊
He is saying all this but Mike did not try to KO Roy...Why was that ? that is the question to ask.
Mike could win this fight there is a chance but Jake’s endurance is incredible and he’s gotten really good idk I have to watch this in July I’m for sure watching this
It's only one second clips
Tysons Trainer is the best in the world
I really hope this fight is not rigged, I don't think Mike would put his name to a fight that's fixed, jake is in for a whole lot of pain and humiliation
Rafael is a legend and i have mad respect for him, i am very connected to chute boxe family as well i took seminars from Murilo and Shogun Rua, sparred with Ausserio Silva,and looked up to Pele Landi when i first started and was part of renzo gracie gym in upstate ny that has chute boxe trainer Luiz Azeredo, my good friend Onishi Was the coach there before Luiz and i helped coach muay thai class, so im for sure biased when it comes to Rafael and Chute boxe, but i gotta say Rafael doesn't look right holding pads for Mr Tyson, it looks ridiculous actually, Mike is controlling the situation not the coach, the coach looks like he is getting mugged not holding pads, hes got this deep feelings almost fear and idolatry of Mike. I dont think people realize how much Brazilian fighters idolized Mike Tyson, especially guys Rafael age and a little younger like Evangelista Cyborg , Pele, Shogun, Ninja , Wanderlei they all looked at him like a god. In USA we were viewing him as a loose cannon and people had a fear of speaking to him. He was never really viewed that way in Brasil. Rafael is either doing tha pad work like that to make an extra effect like Mike is super human, or he is getting stuck in the mud and mesmerized by The bobbing and weaving and that thats mike freaking tyson in front of him. Than again lets remember Rafael is not a pro boxer in any way, hes not a pro boxing coach or pro boxing pad holder. Holding pads for pro boxing way different than pro mma!!!!!! Man even Paul Filho had tattoo of tyson if i remember correctly. Rafael to star struck, imo Mike should be able to handle Jake even at this age with or without Rafael, but im not sure Rafael is the best choice for Tyson to do a pro boxing camp. Not sure what Rafael can coach Mike on in pro boxing except being a towel man, if anything Rafael is learning boxing from Mike. In fact he constantly said this in interview, how much he is learning from Mike. Does Mike think he cant still evolve in boxing ??? I would say if Mike was trying to trasition into mma than yes Rafael would be a great choice !!! But why boxing? Theres nothing that Rafael is gonna do for Mikes boxing game but he a cheerleader. With all respect to Master Rafael, its a great opportunity and a dream come true for him. But i do not think its good for mikes boxing game . He could've went to Teddy Atlas amd rekindle or even Gerry Cooney or Lenox Louis !!!!
Nobody reading all that blud
I read it all. You're making a good point. Tyson should have a professional boxing coach. Jafael is getting backed up too easily. He needs a professional boxing mitt guy who's closer to heavyweight.
all Good
@davidphillips1845 I agree yea bro
I was thinking a similar thing. He looks like a boxing acolyte holding the pads. It reminded me of when Bob Shannon trained Ricky Hatton for his last pro fight. Shannon ran a small gym and made his living as a painter and decorator. He’d never trained anyone on Hatton’s level before so he was in awe of everything Ricky did. He thought Ricky looked amazing when he didn’t look like he had a full fight in him. It’s likely that this ‘fight’ will be announced as an exhibition at the last minute or maybe when we tune into the broadcast itself so it may not matter too much. But even so, I don’t like seeing a trainer holding pads like that. Hopefully it’s just for promotional hype.
why would Cus say ?
In fight , age effect for normal person, but mike his born to fight he love boxing,his a legend, his a street fighter , mike is Iron man Paul nothing for him
R.I.P Jake Paul R.I.P
Of course he says 1st round ko
