Mike Tyson has officially started his training camp for Jake Paul and fans think the fight is already DONE.

Tyson hasn't fought since his exhibition bout against fellow boxing icon Roy Jones Jr back in November 2020.

But he's set to return to action on July 20 when he faces Paul, who recently scored a big win over Ryan Bourland.

Tyson vs. Paul headlines a huge event at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which will be aired on Netflix.

UFC boss Dana White didn't hold back when discussing the showdown.

Paul's manager, Nakisa Bidarian, has hit out at haters slamming the contest as he denied a major rule change.

The boxing match is four months away and 'Iron' Mike looks to be in supreme condition.

He took to social media to reveal that his training camp has officially started. Check it out below:

The 57-year-old shared a clip of himself hitting the pads and he put on a show with his coach Rafael Cordeiro.

The former world heavyweight champion showed off his hand speed and power as he destroyed the pads.

In the video, Tyson says: "It’s day 1... the fun has just begun."

Boxing fans on social media think Paul has made a big mistake in fighting Tyson.

One X user wrote: "Jake Paul calling his agent to cancel the fight."

A second tweeted: "Better have an ambulance standing by for Jake Paul."

A third added: "You know if he loses it’s rigged."

A fourth said: "Uncle Mike is the most dangerous 57 year old on the planet."

Another commented: "Yeah....I still think he's gonna knock Paul's head off.. even at 57."

Tyson still carries his legendary power, having stopped an impressive 44 opponents in his professional career.

He'll look to claim the biggest scalp of his boxing career since retiring when he takes on Paul this summer.
