Fans have spotted a bizarre detail in footage of Mike Tyson shooting a promo for his upcoming fight against Jake Paul.

The blockbuster pro bout between Tyson and Paul is set for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Paul and Tyson took part in a launch press conference in New York on Monday to promote their summer showdown and after fielding questions from the media and fans, they were involved in a telling face-off.

Ahead of making his heavyweight debut, 'The Problem Child' showed off his new 240lbs physique, leaving fight fans stunned.

As for Tyson, he's also looking in phenomenal condition ahead of making his first appearance in a pro contest since 2005.

Before entering the ring on fight night, the 57-year-old was involved in a promotional shoot with Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix.

Footage shows the boxing icon topless, sporting a pair of huge gloves, which didn't go unnoticed among fans online.



One X user wrote: "I thought the gloves were supposed to be 14oz? Those look like 18oz+."

A second tweeted: "The gloves are comically oversized."

A third joked: "Socker bopper ass gloves."

A fourth said: "Who’s he supposed to hurt wearing 50oz gloves?"

Another laughed: "Why they got Mike Tyson posted up in the Mickey Mouse gloves?"

Tyson and Paul will wear 16 oz gloves for their clash and will be contested over eight two-minute rounds.

The former world heavyweight champion, who hasn't competed since his 2020 exhibition against Roy Jones Jr, called it a 'no-brainer' to accept a fight against the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

"It was a no-brainer," he said in the presser. "He was a new up and coming guy on the scene, and I like shaking the sports world to its core and I'm doing it now. It's just something I want to do."
