Jake Paul took to Instagram to mock boxing legend Mike Tyson‘s recent padwork training video. This online jab comes as both fighters prepare for their upcoming bout, turning their friendly rivalry into a heated exchange ahead of their much-anticipated match.
Mike Tyson, who announced his return to the ring against the YouTube star turned professional fighter, showcased his training routine in a video that was meant to display his readiness. However, Paul, known for his brash antics and psychological tactics, responded by mimicking Tyson’s style and speed, effectively throwing the first punch in their psychological warfare.

The fight, set to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Texas on July 20, was initially announced on March 7 and later confirmed as a professional boxing match on April 29. Both fighters have expressed mutual respect for each other’s achievements, but the stakes are high, and the gloves are off, at least on social media.

Speaking to USA Today at this weekend’s Formula One Miami Grand Prix, Paul did not mince words about his intentions: “I love Mike. I’m super respectful of him. It’s an honor to be in the ring with him. But I have to end him,” Paul stated. “It’s war. All is fair in love and war. I love the guy, but as soon as it turned into a pro fight, one of us has to die.”
Paul’s fighting career, which began in 2018 against YouTuber Deji Olatunji, has been controversial yet impactful. Tyson himself has acknowledged Paul’s influence on boxing, noting that he has done “more for boxing than some of the champions did.”
As the fight date approaches, the world watches eagerly to see if Paul’s tactics will disrupt the legendary Iron Mike Tyson or if Tyson’s experience and skill will prove overwhelming for the influencer-turned-boxer. Either way, the clash between these two distinct generations of fighters promises to be more than just a match; it’s a spectacle.
