Now that he is 58 years old, many doubt Tyson about his comeback to boxing. But Wahlberg thinks he might have one last quick knockout in him, and if he does, it could be a tough night for the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

Mike Tyson is training six hours a day for Jake Paul’s comeback fight

The main issue many have with Mike Tyson’s comeback is his age and the condition his body appears to be in. This summer he turned 58 years old and in 2005 he last participated professionally, with two exhibitions so far.

Meanwhile, Paul is 27 years old and has been actively competing since Tyson faced Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. stood. The pair were scheduled to compete on July 20, but a stomach ulcer flare-up that became so bad that the legendary champion feared for his life cost them a few months’ postponement.

But ‘Iron Mike’ is now in phenomenal shape and trains six hours a day. “The closer we get to the fight, the less nervous I get,” Tyson told Jimmy Kimmel during a promotional appearance in September. “I train very hard.

“I start at 11am and I might leave the gym at 5pm. There is a small pause. After I finish boxing, I get an hour-long massage, but then I immediately start working on strength and conditioning. I’ve smoked (marijuana), but not that fast. I’m going to be so high on life.”

Mark Wahlberg believes Mike Tyson can land another quick KO over Jake Paul

Hollywood star Wahlberg is confident that Tyson will be able to top Paul in the years to come. He used to watch the iconic heavyweight during his heyday and disagreed with the assessment that the fights were not value for money given their short length.

And he believes that if Tyson can bring out ‘the old Mike’ for one last run, it will spell very bad news for Paul. “Look, I’d like to see the old Mike come out again,” he told Clocked N Loaded at the launch of his new restaurant in Las Vegas.

“I just hope no one gets hurt. I used to watch Mike, pay for pay-per-view and people would complain ‘oh it was only one round, it wasn’t worth the money!’ I always got my money’s worth watching him.

“Mike is a good friend and hopefully he is healthy and does that old Mike thing again.” Although he is confident in the outcome, Wahlberg claims he is not gambling and therefore will not bet money on his friend.
