Mike Tyson punches back after Jake Paul sparring video

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are sparring – in their gyms and with each other.
The fighters have used video clips to exchange messages while hyping their heavyweight bout scheduled for Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
It started last week when a video clip on Paul’s Instagram account showed him connecting with an overhand right and dropping a burly sparring partner to one knee in the ring.
“Don’t charge at me, Tyson,’’ Paul warned as he looked into the camera.
On Monday night, a video posted on Tyson’s X account showed him punching as he backed a sparring partner against the ropes and into a corner.
“Oh I can’t wait for November 15th. I’m charging right through you,’’ reads the caption, in clear reference to Paul’s video.
More than a month ago, Tyson brought in three sparring partners. But the video was the first Tyson’s camp has released of him sparring.
Paul and Tyson were wearing headgear during their sparring sessions. They will not be wearing headgear during the sanctioned pro heavyweight bout scheduled for eight, two-minute rounds.
They have used their social media accounts frequently to fuel interest in the fight.
