coincident of winning confident between mike Tyson and Jake Paul confidence ahead of fight
The coincidence of Mike Tyson and Jake Paul’s landslide victory Pre-fight confidence
Paul was nicknamed “Titanium Jake Paul,” a play on the words of “Steel Mike” Tyson.
Two generations of boxers will compete in Arlington, Texas, in about two months, and neither Mike nor Tyson hide their ages.
Tyson, 57, and Paul, 27, began the press tour for their highly anticipated fight on Monday at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York. Despite being only a few miles from where Tyson grew up, the crowd seemed divided into two camps.
The July 20 bout will mark more than four years since Paul fought Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition match (Paul faced Nate Robinson on the undercard). It will be a sanctioned, professional fight, which Tyson hasn’t participated in since June 11, 2005, against Kevin McBride.

Tyson, once known as the “baddest man on the planet,” has been posting clips of his workouts, and there’s no doubt that his power is still there.
But it’s not a spring chicken. Of course, at his age, there are questions about whether he can last eight rounds of two minutes each.
Once the man who exuded more confidence than most, Tyson clearly knew Father Time was invincible and was brutally honest about how his body felt. “My body is rotting right now,” he admitted on Monday. “It’s too painful for me.”
Paul now has the confidence that Tyson once had, if not more.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer has made the sport the most popular it has been since Tyson’s heyday. He did it in a completely different way, but it’s safe to say this could be the greatest fight in modern history.
It’s almost ironic that Paul went from a boxer you’ve barely heard of in his last two fights (Andre Auguste and Ryan Bolland, both KOs in the first round) to arguably the greatest boxer of all time. So when the fans asked Paul if they could “strike”, this confidence was in a complete exhibition.
\ “They call it Mike Tyson Iron, but I am Titanjek Paul. \.”
Earlier, he said, “I show the world that I can reconstruct Mike Tyson, prove that everyone is wrong, indicating that I will be a murderer. \ “”
However, despite the fact that his body was feeling, Tyson gave a honest warning to his speech.
\”Once he’s in that ring,\” Tyson said, \”he has to fight like his life depends on it, because it will be.\”
Paul is 9-1 in his career, with his lone loss being via decision to Tommy Fury.
