Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will go toe-to-toe in one of the most controversial boxing fights next month.

Jake Paul appears concerned about Mike Tyson's physique ahead of their upcoming controversial fight in a few weeks.

The former undisputed heavyweight world champion has been putting in the work in the gym to get prepared for his upcoming fight with Paul.


That work has been evident with several clips uploaded to social media of Tyson looking fierce on the pads and working intensely in the gym.

Most Valuable Promotions have also stepped up their social media activity with another video of Tyson looking in the zone.

The boxing promotion company, co-founded by Paul, captioned the video: "TYSON IS READY #PaulTyson Footage released today.

"Mike Tyson is in tremendous shape as his fight on Nov 15th against Jake Paul approaches. Is Jake Paul in trouble?"

The video grabbed Paul's attention too as he simply replied: "WTF!"

Paul's response suggests Tyson's workout videos are having an impact on making him nervous ahead of their fight in just a few weeks.

Earlier this week, Tyson accused Paul of not taking their fight seriously enough as he plans to stop the YouTuber-turned-boxer early.

"I'm going in there with bad intentions," Tyson said.

"My intentions are to hurt this young man."

He added: "[It won't last long], soon as I catch him because he's going to run like a thief.

"I don't see how he's going to make an exciting fight by running all day.

"He's supposed to be the young guy. He's supposed to walk straight through me. I'm an old man and he's going to run all f***ing night."

Tyson is 31 years older than Paul and the fight has caused controversy with some urging for it to be cancelled.
