Mike Tyson is 58 years old and still winning. Tyson’s return to the ring, a symbol of his unwavering warrior spirit, is more than simply a nostalgic throwback. He is known for his fearsome power and vicious technique. Tyson hasn’t lost his intensity, judging from what the cameras inside his training camp showed, and his thirst for competition is still very much alive.

In the exclusive video from Netflix, Tyson looks just as determined as ever. His training regimens are intense, consisting of a combination of traditional heavy bag exercises, intense sparring sessions, and his trademark speed drills. It just takes a glimpse of Iron Mike unleashing vicious hooks and uppercuts to remind everyone why he was once the world’s most feared fighter.

However, Tyson is up against a war of generations in this fight in addition to a physical test. Jake Paul, the online phenomenon whose sudden ascension has rocked the boxing world, is on the other side of the ring. Love him or hate him, Paul has won over professional athletes and former MMA fighters, and his knockout power and quick progress have silenced many of his detractors.

But Tyson is a very different animal. Even though Paul has faced more experienced opponents, facing a living icon like Mike Tyson head-to-head presents an unparalleled challenge. While Tyson acknowledges that Paul is no pushover, as seen by Netflix’s cameras, he is intent on giving a performance that lives up to Paul’s reputation as a boxing great.

 

Tyson’s mental training is just as fascinating. Viewers get an inside look at his thoughts as he considers his legacy, his passion for the sport, and what it means to enter the ring at this point in his life throughout the entire special series. “It’s war once more,” Tyson says in a terrifying moment. Nothing matters outside of that ring when you’re in it. I’m a gladiator at heart. I will continue to fight here.

The relationship between Tyson and Rafael Cordeiro, his longtime trainer who helped him get ready for his 2020 exhibition matchup against Roy Jones Jr., is another topic covered in-depth by Netflix. They’ve worked together to develop a training plan that takes Tyson’s age into consideration while maximizing his strengths.

Even though Tyson is obviously in incredible shape, Jake Paul should not be taken lightly. Paul’s training is also followed in the Netflix documentary, but Tyson stays the major subject. Paul has demonstrated that he is a young, strong boxer ready to prove himself against the greatest, not just a YouTuber dabbling in the sport.

But facing Mike Tyson in the ring will be unlike any challenge Paul has ever encountered. Tyson’s unpredictability, strength, and experience will test Paul to the utmost. Paul has acknowledged in interviews that “I know what I’m up against, and this is the biggest fight of my career.” However, I’ve already been underestimated, so I’m prepared for anything.

With Netflix providing this unique, behind-the-scenes glimpse into Tyson’s training, interest in the bout has increased dramatically. What fans want to know is if the former YouTuber can take on Mike Tyson’s intensity as a boxer. Or will Tyson prove to everyone that he still has what it takes to rule the ring?

There’s no denying that the Tyson vs. Paul bout is expected to be a thrilling and momentous occasion that will leave the boxing community enthralled. Viewers will have a close-up view of the drama, preparation, and tenacity that both combatants bring to the ring thanks to Netflix’s in-depth coverage.
