While it's still a good few months away, Mike Tyson is certainly taking his upcoming bout against Jake Paul very seriously, having uploaded two clips of him training for the scrap over the last few days.
In the latest clip, Mike can be seen punching the life out of his heavily armoured trainer, before letting out what can only be described as a growl in the final few seconds.
Then, turning to the camera, Tyson says: "You still wanna f*** with me?"
Paul and Tyson will face off on July 20, by which time the former heavyweight will be 58 and YouTube star Paul just 27.
In another clip shared earlier this week, Tyson could 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 for real.
"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."
So far it's unclear as to whether or not the fight will be classed as an exhibition or professional bout. The number of rounds is also yet to be decided.
Paul's last fight came in February as he stopped Ryan Bourland in the first round, with his only loss coming to Tommy Fury.
Tyson has fought just once since retiring in 2005, drawing to Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition bout in 2020.
Tyson vs Paul will also be streamed on Netflix.
