Mike Tyson has stunned boxing fans with his remarkable punching power ahead of his fight with Jake Paul next month.
The 58-year-old has been training hard for the bout, which will be his first since his exhibition draw with Roy Jones Jr back in 2020.
The showdown had originally been due to take place on July 20.
However, both men were forced to postpone their clash due to Tyson suffering from an ulcer flare up.

Tyson will be hoping to roll back the years when he faces Paul, having lost his last professional fight to Kevin McBride back in 2005.
Shane Mosley, Paul’s old trainer, has warned the 27-year-old that he could get really ‘hurt’ during the early stages of the bout.
Mosley also believes Paul ‘doesn’t understand’ just how hard Tyson can hit, despite his age.
“If Mike really hits Jake, Mike can really hurt Jake, and I know what Mike can do and what Jake can do,” he told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
