Mike Tyson delivers knockout warning to Jake Paul ahead of fight
Boxing legend Mike Tyson floored his sparring partner with a powerful left hook, sending a warning to Jake Paul ahead of their fight on November 15. The match between 57-year-old Tyson and the 27-year-old YouTuber and boxer has faced criticism due to their 30-year age difference.

In a recently released video, "Iron Mike" pushed his sparring partner against the ropes and delivered his signature left hook. The training partner fell to the ring, and Tyson shouted that he has a lot of energy and is just getting started.
Fans expressed their admiration, writing: "He looks terrifying, guys." Another added: "When Mike says he's just getting started, you better run the other way."
Jake Paul also shared a sparring video, where he floored a heavyweight opponent with a powerful right hand.
Controversies around the fight grew when Tyson had to withdraw from the original date of July 20 due to health issues. After recovering from a stomach ulcer, he was cleared to resume training.
Before the fight, Tyson will undergo additional heart and brain exams and anti-doping tests, just like Paul. Their clash will take place on November 15, 2024.
From YouTuber to boxer
It's worth remembering that Jake Paul is not new to boxing. The popular American YouTuber has fought 11 professional matches and boasts a 10-1 record. His only defeat came in 2023 against Tommy Fury, the half-brother of the famous Tyson Fury.
My sights are set on becoming a world champion, and now I have a chance to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion of the world, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time. Time to put Iron Mike to sleep - wrote Paul.
