Mike Tyson, 58, tears up open workout ahead of showdown with Jake Paul

Published: 08:36 GMT, 13 November 2024 Mike Tyson came out all gloves blazing and this was only the public work out. The last thing a great boxer loses is his punch and the thud of leather on pads was as thunderous as of old. But most remarkable was the hand speed of the combinations. If Iron Mike has slowed in that department at 58 then it is imperceptible. He even impressed himself and told a crowd of several thousand in the Toyota Motor factory that the first day he went back to the gym after signing the contract to fight YouTuber Jake Paul in the Dallas Cowboys Stadium on Friday night: 'I thought what the f**** have I done?' Then he added: 'I've got through the process and I'm feeling great right now.' He took off his top to reveal a body as muscled as in his world champion prime. So when he was reminded that his family will all be at ringside for the fight for the ages he said: 'My kids will see that their father is someone very special. 'They'll also learn not to talk back to me.'
