Mike Tyson, the 58-year-old boxing legend, is gearing up for a fight against Jake Paul, who is 31 years younger. Originally scheduled for June, the fight was postponed due to an ulcer issue, raising concerns about Tyson's health. Now rescheduled for November 15, both fighters must weigh over 200 lbs. Tyson recently shared his weight and training progress on a podcast, revealing he's at 230 lbs. He explained his body has changed, gaining more mass and converting fat into muscle. Standing at 5'10", Tyson is considered a shorter heavyweight, which he used to his advantage in past fights by closing in on opponents quickly. Jake Paul, at 6'1", might have speed and power advantages due to his age. Tyson, however, has always had a unique mindset, using fear as a motivator rather than a hindrance. He believes controlling fear is key to his success.
