At first, the ‘Problem Child’ appeared to be taking his fight against ‘Iron Mike’ lightly. However, in recent weeks, he has engaged in various activities to prepare for the match. In one instance, Paul even trained with a fake belly to simulate being a fat individual.

Regarding Paul’s professional boxing record, the 27-year-old boxer is currently on a four-fight win streak. Most recently, he convincingly defeated BKFC superstar Mike Perry. With his confidence soaring, he is now set to face a boxing legend who is 58 years old. Despite the significant age difference, Tyson still wants to fight Paul for an interesting reason.

The highly anticipated matchup between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has faced considerable scrutiny, primarily because of the significant age difference between the two fighters. The situation became even more complicated when the original fight was suddenly canceled. It was due to Tyson experiencing an unexpected flare-up of ulcers just a few weeks ahead of their clash.

Despite this, Tyson still desires to face Paul for one compelling reason: he wants to maintain his formidable persona. In a recent podcast episode, Tyson shared that he is keen on upholding this image, even at 58. Interestingly, he also admitted that he isn’t afraid of death, even though competing professionally at 58 is quite concerning.

(Success and being in the limelight) doesn’t come easy. Like I said, it prepares us for our expiration date… You know, I don’t know if I’m afraid of death but I don’t cling to life…
