Mike Tyson is fired up for his fight with Jake Paul.
The former heavyweight boxing champion is set to fight the 27-year-old Friday night in a match that will be his first professional fight since 2005. He took to X earlier in the day to post a hype video for the bout.
The video, which was themed “It’s a war,” showed his training regiment in preparation for the fight.
The fight was originally slated to happen in July but Tyson had to pull out due to medical issues. This time, the 58-year-old will step into the ring and will look to show that he still has something left in the tank.
He has a 50-6 overall record with 44 knockouts and was the undisputed heavyweight champion from 1987-1990. He has not won a professional fight since 2003, but his immense experience should help him.
Paul, who was born seven years after Tyson lost his undisputed title, has earned a 10-1 record with seven knockouts. He has won four consecutive bouts and could earn a statement victory if he beats Tyson.
The event is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET and the Paul-Tyson fight will be the fourth of the night.
