Mike Tyson has sent a fresh warning to Jake Paul ahead of their highly controversial fight later this year.
Tyson hasn't stepped into the ring since his exhibition match against fellow boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020.
However, he's gearing up for his return on July 20th, where he'll face Paul, fresh off his significant victory over Ryan Bourland.

The Tyson vs. Paul fight will be the main event of a major spectacle at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and rather notably will be broadcast live on Netflix.
The fight will be the first live combat sports event shown on Netflix, as the streaming powerhouse looks to expand its horizons.
Tyson has already started his training camp for the fight and has been keeping fans updated on his progress with consistent posts on Snapchat.

Considering the major age gap between the two fighters it is pretty obvious Tyson is going to have to take this seriously as despite his pedigree he will be facing a man in his physical prime.

Despite many fearing that Tyson might be past it, UFC boss Dana White has had his worries eased after discovering Tyson's extreme training regime.
"At least I know, I talked to his wife a couple of days ago and he's taking it serious and he's training for it and you know, we'll see how it plays out," White explained on the Lex Fridman's podcast.
"I love Mike Tyson and I'm not a fan of anybody fighting at our age, but he's a grown man obviously and he's going to do what he's going to do," He added.
