Jake Paul has posted a video of himself dropping a training partner ahead of his highly anticipated fight against Mike Tyson on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The clip shows Paul, who is moving up from cruiserweight to heavyweight for the first time in his boxing career, taking down a much larger opponent with a powerful right hand.
As he prepares for this blockbuster fight, the YouTuber-turned-boxer is focused on outlasting Tyson, 58, who still possesses devastating knockout power.
However, Paul is confident he has what it takes to beat Iron Mike and could be heard threatening the former champion after dropping his sparring partner, shouting: “Don’t charge at me, Tyson.”
The fight between Tyson and Paul was due to take place in July, but just two months after the fight was announced, the two men were forced to postpone the process.

Tyson suffered a medical scare on a plane in May that derailed the showdown in Texas. However, a new date of November 15 was later agreed upon.
But fans remained concerned about Tyson’s health given that he will be 58 years old when the fight takes place at AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys.
They expected Texas Licensing Regulators to closely monitor Tyson before the fight takes place next month.
However, according to World Boxing NewsTexas Licensing Regulators won’t just evaluate Tyson until the day before the fight.
Therefore, there is a high risk that the fight will be canceled just 24 hours before Iron Mike returns to the ring.
The result of the evaluation could cause the fight to be downgraded from professional to exhibition or even canceled.
However, Tyson is confident the fight will go ahead as planned and insists he is ready to dismantle Paul despite the age difference.
The social media star will face Tyson in an eight-round professional fight in November.
The fight between Tyson and Paul was due to take place in July, but just two months after the fight was announced, the two men were forced to postpone the process.
Fans have praised Tyson’s physique and punching power during recent training videos.
Tyson earned his reputation as one of the most fearsome punchers the sport of boxing has ever known, racking up 24 first-round knockouts in a professional career that spanned from 1985 until his initial retirement in 2005.
After all, Paul wasn’t even born during Tyson’s legendary initial world title run and was just eight years old when Iron Mike first hung up his gloves following a loss to Irish journeyman Kevin McBride in 2005.
