PHOTO | Mike Tyson reveals his absurd physique ahead of his boxing comeback against Jake Paul

Boxing legend Mike Tyson is absolutely exhausted before his comeback against Jake Paul.

The 58-year-old heavyweight will return to the ring later this month for the first time since 2020. But while his fight with Roy Jones Jr. four years ago was an exhibition, his next fight will be a professional fight. On November 15th there will be a duel between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul live on Netflix.

The boxing match will be the former champion's first professional competition in nearly two decades. His last fight came in June 2005, when he suffered a surprise upset loss to journeyman Kevin McBride. Now, at the age of 58, Mike Tyson is preparing for another fight against “The Problem Child.”

Leading up to the contest, Jake Paul repeatedly mocked the heavyweight's age. Given the 31-year age difference between the two, that's not a big surprise. However, Mike Tyson is probably in the best shape of his entire career. The heavyweight posted a photo of his body on Instagram today.

He continued: “I have to catch him and slaughter him. NO [I don’t fear for him] because he got into the ring. When my mother gets in the ring, she has a problem with me. Don't go into the ring if you don't want this problem…Jake sometimes believes his own lies. When you're in a big argument, you have to give in to a delusion and believe that you're someone you're not. He’s in big trouble.”
