Mike Tyson posts training clip and people think Jake Paul should cancel the fight

'Jake Paul is dead'

Paul and Tyson will face off on July 20, by which time the former heavyweight will be 58 and YouTube star Paul just 27.

Unsurprisingly, it's Tyson who has been made the early favourite for the fight and in his first clip can be seen working away on the pads, generating a fair whack of power.

In the footage he can be heard saying: "It’s day one, and the fun has just begun".

After seeing the video of Tyson on the pads, fans are fearing the worst for Paul.

Piers Morgan said: "I’m very glad I’m not Jake Paul….

Another user added: "Someone needs to save Jake Paul if Iron Mike gets forreal.

"Mike looks better at 60 than 40. Paul gonna get dog walked," added a third.

"There’s going to be a murder, live, on PPV."
