BOXING fans are bracing themselves for a “sad day” when Mike Tyson fights Jake Paul after his training camp footage was released.
The heavyweight boxing icon faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul on November 15 in a bout widely slammed over the 30-year age gap.
Tyson has been attempting to roll back the clock in the gym and has offered supporters tiny glimpses of his preparations.
But his latest carefully crafted montage had fans fearing the worst.
One said: “Will be a sad day when Jake stops him.”
Another added: “Nicely edited means nothing.”
One commented: “Notice how none of these clips are longer than 2 seconds?”
But another did argue: “He looks great, and I hope he KOs Paul. But I don’t think he should be fighting.”
Tyson, 58, was forced to pull out of the initial July 20 date after suffering an ulcer flare up in his stomach.
He has since been deemed medically fit to continue training and is required to undergo additional brain and hearts tests ahead of his fight.

Paul, 27, has ten wins and only one loss in the boxing ring, losing a 2023 split-decision to Tommy Fury, 25.
Tyson meanwhile returns for his first pro fight since 2005 despite facing Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition bout in 2020.
His comeback also marks Netflix’s first move into live boxing while the Dallas Cowboy’s 80,000-seat stadium plays host.
But Paul has been forced to defend the fight and told the Daily Mail: “Mike does what Mike wants to do, and he’s the one that you know wanted to make this a pro fight.
“He’s still wanting to do it, and he believes he can beat my ass truly behind the scenes.
‘To him, age is just a number, and he does look athletic, he does look strong, and he does look good on the mitts so we’ll see how it translates to the ring.”
