The two Americans will do battle on November 15 with millions of fans from around the world due to tune in

Boxing fans have told Jake Paul to pull out of his fight with Mike Tyson, with a large number being left amazed by footage uploaded by the veteran.

Tyson has been regularly updating fans with footage of himself in the gym as he looks to summon the magic of old.


The 58-year-old was a force of nature during his prime years - and seems to still have some of his old power as he looks to consign Paul to defeat.

Recently, Tyson shared more footage on social media of himself working hard.

Speaking earlier this month, meanwhile, Paul was asked about what the plan is if the bout with Tyson falls through.

The youngster was adamant there's no back-up arrangement in place, however.

"It's Mike Tyson or nothing," he said.
