FANS shared concern for Jake Paul after watching Mike Tyson showing off his explosive power in training.
The former heavyweight champion looks in tip-top shape ahead of his showdown with YouTuber Paul.
Tyson is now 57-years-old and last stepped in the ring to fight Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition contest in 2020.
This will be his first professional fight in 19 years but he appears to have retained his tremendous power, which saw him achieve 44 knock-outs in his career.
The veteran still has immense speed considering his age and his pad work in training had fans fearing the worst for Paul.
One reacted saying: “Better have an ambulance ready for Jake Paul.”
