Jake Paul reveals secret strategy for beating boxing legend Mike Tyson Associated PressJake Paul will fight Mike Tyson on July 20 in front of a worldwide Netflix audience, and Paul\u2019s deploying a creative strategy to defeat the legendary boxer. The matchup of Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is one of the most anticipated combat sporting events in recent memory, as the 27-year-old social media star aims to take down a titan of the boxing industry. Paul, who hasn\u2019t started his fight camp yet, acknowledged the power that Tyson still possesses in his right hand, even admitting he\u2019s nervous as the July 20 match approaches. However, after revealing to Shane Mosley that he is walking around weighing 230 pounds, Paul explained why bulking up for the Tyson fight is his secret weapon. \u201cIt\u2019s just like, shocking to people that that\u2019s how much I weigh,\u201d Paul remarked. \u201cI think just because, normally, I\u2019m fighting at like 200 [pounds] and walking around at like 210. \u201cI think I\u2019ll get up to 240 and then probably cut down, so I\u2019m way faster. But if I\u2019m training for this camp at 240, and then I cut down to 220, it\u2019s like I had a 20-pound weight vest on. \u201cSo my muscles are going to be so much stronger, and that speed will come through.\u201d Paul then detailed his entire regimen for the Tyson match and how it differs \u2014 if at all \u2014 from other fights. \u201cSame training camp, essentially,\u201d Paul said. \u201cBut there are a few minute differences, which I will elaborate on. \u201cThe differentiators will be me being able to eat, which I\u2019ve already noticed is so much better for recovery. \u201cAnd as well as sparring heavyweights. I\u2019ll probably spar less because the heavyweights obviously punch harder and it\u2019s more intense taking shots [from them]. \u201cThat\u2019s the two biggest things, but the third is that we know what Tyson fights like. Interestingly enough, with a lot of my opponents, there\u2019s not tons of footage. \u201cWith Mike Tyson, there\u2019s hours and hours of footage out there. So, we know exactly what he\u2019s going to do.\u201d Paul is 30 years younger than Tyson, but he\u2019s clearly not underestimating the former boxing world champion. He already has what he believes to be the winning game plan; now it\u2019s time to implement it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
