An image of Jake Paul’s physique has stirred conversation among online fans.
A photo showcasing Jake Paul’s physique ahead of his professional bout against Mike Tyson has surfaced online, sparking speculation among fans that the outcome of the fight is already predetermined.
The highly anticipated match between Paul and Tyson is scheduled for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Both fighters participated in a press conference to launch the promotion for their much-anticipated showdown, engaging in a significant face-off.
Tyson, returning to the ring for the first time since his exhibition bout against fellow boxing legend Roy Jones Jr in November 2020, has been actively sharing his training regimen on social media platforms, showcasing his renowned power and hand speed.
In a notable development, Paul has unveiled his heavyweight physique for the first time, having previously competed in the cruiserweight division.
Expressing his intentions to enter the bout weighing around 240lbs, Paul appears to be on track to meet that target based on a recent shirtless image of the 27-year-old, which suggests he may indeed reach that weight by fight night.
A clip of ‘The Problem Child’ shared by Most Valuable Promotions on social media has sparked widespread speculation among online fans, with many expressing confidence in Paul’s victory over the boxing legend.
One X user remarked, “I think the 2 minute rounds are for Jake after seeing this.”
Another Twitter user commented, “Jake Paul is looking gigantic.”
A third individual added, “Mike Tyson is finished.”
A fourth observer stated, “Someone pray for Mike Tyson.”
Meanwhile, another argued, “He’s not a natural heavyweight, whatever weight he fought at last is where he’ll do best. Still think he’ll beat Tyson.”
Paul, who secured a victory over Ryan Bourland in his most recent outing, intends to bulk up to 240lbs before undergoing a cutting phase.
“And I’m only growing. I think I’ll get up to 240 and probably cut down so I’m like way faster,” he revealed.
“But if I’m training for this camp – and camp hasn’t started – but if I’m training in this camp at 240 and then I cut down to 220 it’s basically like I had a 20lbs weight vest on for the whole entire camp.
“So, my muscles are going to be so much stronger, and that speed will come through.”
