Jake Paul 'contemplating life' after seeing Mike Tyson update ahead of blockbuster fight

Jake Paul has claimed that he is 'contemplating life' after seeing Mike Tyson's fight camp ahead of their blockbuster fight on November 15.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer faces one of his toughest tests since making the transition into the ring as he will touch gloves with Iron Mike. Eighty-thousand fans will be ringside in Texas in just over a week, eagerly anticipating the bout between Paul and the former heavyweight champion.

The pair will finally step foot in the ring after an ulcer flare up for the veteran heavyweight postponed the bout by four months. Tyson has not fought since he drew with fellow legend Roy Jones Jr four years ago in an exhibition fight but the shape he is in for his return, seemingly, has caught the attention of the 27-year-old.

On Instagram, sharing a link to the behind-the-scenes footage of Tyson's preparations, he said: "Footage from Mike Tyson's training camp has me contemplating life."

The footage features Tyson 17 days out from stepping foot back into the ring. Coach Rafael Cordeiro says: "We're good, we're in the perfect time, we're the perfect place where Mike put everything together. Mentally, physically, we're excited, if the fight was next Saturday we'd be ready for it.

"Today, Mike is better than when he fought Roy. So with four years, at 58 he's better than 54, he saw everything right and wrong, he fixed it - this is the beauty of the fight. The energy is good, his energy is good."

Professional boxer Bruce Carrington, who is the same age as Tyson's opponent and has 13 wins on his record - eight via knockout, also features as he spars a different opponent - sending him to the canvas with a sickening body shot. Tyson showcases his gruelling workout in the gym after sparring, including squats wearing a weighted vest.

In between sets, the 58-year-old jokes: "Did you hear my step-brother? 'I have some friends, they're pretty wealthy, listen Mike don't fight, I'll give you money.' What are you f****** crazy?"
