Mike Tyson is raring to go for his fight for Jake Paul and his latest training video has caused some concern among his fans.
A shock fight between Tyson and Paul was announced last month, scheduled to take place on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Texas.
It will be the first time the former heavyweight champion steps back into the ring since his eight-round exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr in 2020.
He will be 58 years of age by the time his fight with Paul comes around, who is more than 30 years younger.

The announcement of the fight led to huge concerns from both sides with the huge age gap sparking controversy in the boxing community.
Both have shared multiple videos of them in training with Tyson active on social media to show he's putting in the work.
The 57-year-old has shown off his incredible hand speed and power with his pad work.
And Tyson has now shown that his terrifying speed from the peak of his career hasn't evaded him either despite approaching his 60th birthday.
Taking to X, Tyson posted a clip of him running a short dash at full speed along with the caption, 'I'm coming for you'.
The video has led to a mixed reaction online with some fearing Paul will be knocked out by 'Iron Mike'.
One message read: "Bruh, @jakepaul won't stand a chance! Look at this beast!"
Another posted: "Take it east on him, he's just a kid trying to make bread."

One person wrote: "This doesn't look good."
