Mike Tyson and Jake Paul's fight in Texas is less than two months away now.

Mike Tyson's camp have sent a direct warning to Jake Paul ahead of their November showdown about the 'bombs' he faces in the ring.

Both fighters are putting the finishing touches to their preparations with the November 15 fight date drawing nearer.


Paul has been subdued on social media in regards to his training regime for his upcoming fight against the former undisputed heavyweight world champion.

But Tyson has taken a different approach online with multiple videos posted of him in the gym and sparring.

Most Valuable Promotions, who are promoting the upcoming fight, put up a new video dated for September 6 with a quick glimpse at Tyson in the ring with a sparring partner.

The 58-year-old was also seen dripping in sweat and hitting the pads with some explosive punches.

A member of Tyson's camp then issued a warning to Paul, insisting the boxing icon is primed and ready to step into the ring.

"If the fight was today, Jake is done," they said.

"Jake is done anyway."

He added: "He [Tyson] throws missiles, not just one bomb.

"The bombs, they're all fricking one after the other.

"We don't want to throw one bomb. We want to throw missiles. One after the other."

Tyson recently revealed he's been training "six hours a day" in preparation for his fight against Paul.

“I start at 11 in the morning and I might leave the gym at 5pm," he said.

"There’s a small break. After I finish my boxing I get a massage for an hour but then I go right into strength and conditioning."

The fight between Tyson and Paul was originally set to take place earlier this summer, but it was postponed after the boxing legend suffered an ulcer flare-up while on a plane.

The 31-year age gap between the two has caused plenty of controversy with some fearing about Tyson's wellbeing.

But Tyson, who last fought professionally in 2005, remains confident that he can put a stop to Paul in the ring.

"I had a small adversity. I got sick, but I feel good. I'm just ready," Tyson said.

"He [Paul] may have been in the ring with people who have the same intentions, but the actuality, no.

"As soon as I catch this guy it's going to be totally over, he is going to run. He is going to run like a thief."
