Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are set to have the biggest spectacle of the summer with a boxing match at AT&T Stadium in July. Tyson posted a video on Snapchat of a sparring session with one of his trainers, showing the view Paul will have as he moves around the ring with the former heavyweight champion. Tyson, wearing Everlast gloves, was throwing quick punches, potentially giving a sign of what’s to come with more than three months until the big fight. Tyson appeared on “Hannity” and discussed his mindset going into the bout, explaining that he confronts things he is afraid of, like his previous fight with Roy Jones Jr. Despite feeling scared, facing adversity and nervousness is what pushes Tyson to get back in the ring.
Tyson believes that adversity and nervousness are what catapult him to success, stating that without these feelings, he would never enter the ring for a fight. As the fight gets closer, Tyson becomes less nervous, as reality sets in and he believes he is invincible. He acknowledges that Paul has come a long way from his earlier YouTube days, mentioning that the person he faces now is not the same as the one he saw doing dances at 16. Tyson is prepared for Paul to come at him aggressively and believes the YouTuber turned boxer will be greatly mistaken in trying to hurt him. The fight is scheduled for July 20, and Tyson is ready to face the challenge head-on.
Ex-NFL star Shawne Merriman also discussed the upcoming Lights Out Xtreme Fighting card and the promotion’s increased exposure. Tyson mentioned that he believes his fear of the unknown is what drives him to confront challenges, such as stepping back into the ring at his age and weight. Despite his initial nervousness and fear, Tyson is confident in his abilities and believes that facing these emotions is what leads to his success. As Tyson prepares for the fight with Paul, he is all business, leaving behind any butterflies he may have felt initially.
As the fight draws near, Tyson is focused on the task at hand and is determined to show that he is still a force to be reckoned with. Tyson believes that facing challenges head-on and not backing down from fear is what has led him to achieve success in his career. Despite feeling scared, Tyson embraces these emotions as a way to push himself further and prove his abilities in the ring. With the fight against Paul set for July 20, Tyson is ready to show his opponent and the world that he is still a formidable opponent, ready to take on any challenge that comes his way.
