Mike Tyson says his body feels like 's--- right now,' while Jake Paul oozes confidence ahead of fight

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul come nose-to-nose at their New York press conference on May 13, 2024.

NEW YORK – Two generations of boxing are coming face-to-face in Arlington, Texas, in just about two months, and neither Mike Tyson nor Jake Paul Is hiding their age.

Tyson, 57, and Paul, 27, began their press tour for their much-anticipated fight on Monday at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York. And, despite just being miles from where Tyson grew up, the crowd seemed pretty split between the two.

The July 20 bout will mark Tyson’s first fight in over four years, when he fought Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition (Paul was on that undercard against Nate Robinson). It will be a sanctioned, professional fight, which Tyson hasn’t participated in since June 11, 2005, against Kevin McBride.

Formerly known as the "Baddest Man on the Planet," Tyson has been posting clips of his training, and make no mistake, his power is still there.

But he’s no spring chicken. 

Of course, there are doubts whether, at his age, he can last the eight rounds, each of which will be two minutes.

Once a man who exuded more confidence than anyone, Tyson obviously knows that Father Time is undefeated, and he was brutally honest about how he feels physically.

"My body is s--- right now," he admitted on Monday. "I’m really sore."

That confidence Tyson once had, Paul has it all, if not more.
