Jake Paul told Mike Tyson will 'knock him all the way back to the Disney Channel'

Jake Paul is set to face Mike Tyson in a hugely-anticipated exhibition boxing bout in November, with fans questioning his fitness ahead of the showdown

Boxing enthusiasts have raised concerns about Jake Paul's physical condition as the 27 year old prepares to face Mike Tyson in the ring. Paul, a YouTuber-turned-boxer, is set to take on the 58 year old former world heavyweight champion in November at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The bout was initially scheduled for July but was postponed due to health concerns for Tyson. Paul boasts a 10-1 record, having recently defeated Mike Perry over the summer.

However, after sharing footage of his training camp on Instagram, some fans expressed doubts about his fitness. "He doesn't look fit at all," one fan commented.

Others argued that Paul's appearance wasn't surprising, given his weight gain to compete against Tyson. Meanwhile, some fans continued to back Tyson, despite his significant age difference with Paul.

"You might be fooling these young kids who didn't grow up watching Tyson.... Mike is going to knock you all the way back to the Disney channel chump," one fan wrote. "Real talk! He doesn't understand who he's facing," another comment read, reports the Mirror.

His last professional fight was against Kevin McBride back in 2005. An ulcer flare-up caused a delay in Tyson's return to the ring, leading to the postponement of the fight after consulting medical professionals.

This decision was taken in May, with a focus on the health and safety of the fighters being paramount.

Boxing great 'Sugar' Shane Mosley has issued a caution to Paul ahead of their rescheduled clash. Speaking to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the 53 year old said: "If Mike really hits Jake, Mike can really hurt Jake, and I know what Mike can do and what Jake can do," adding, "I don't think Jake really understands how hard Mike can hit. Mike is 58, but these are two-minute rounds and all fighters have pride. I don't think Mike will be going in there to lose to Jake Paul. Jake thinks he can take a shot."

Mosley continued, "In the first five or six rounds, and what makes this so fun, is that getting hit by Mike Tyson is dangerous, very dangerous. Jake will have to tire Mike out. Jake will need to understand how these punches will come at him."

He further elaborated on the risks involved in fighting a seasoned boxer: "People need to understand that a bar fight between two guys is one thing, a professional fighter, especially a former world champion, regardless of age, is still a very dangerous man who can seriously hurt you. I don't know how long they would be able to hurt you [laughs], but these are punches from people who have been throwing punches all their lives."
