Legendary heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson broke the news that he is now being harsh on himself in order to destroy Internet celebrity star Jack Paul in one fell swoop in this summer's competition. According to the Daily Mail, Tyson has now banned sexual intercourse, believing it will help win over Paul.
Tyson will take to AT&T Stadium in Texas on July 20 for a 30-year-old bout with Paul, and although the exact rules of the match have not been announced, the clash still attracts a large crowd because fans want to see "The Iron Man" Tyson.
Tyson is now 57 years old and will turn 58 when he faces Paul, and it's been nearly four years since he last appeared in boxing against Roy Jones Jr. Now, what is Tyson's form, will the age gap be the only factor that determines the victory? Tyson also knows about the relevant issues, so he devotes himself to preparing for the game as he did in the previous game.
Tyson used social media to show that he was in great form, and whether it was speed or strength, he could clearly see the shadow of his former peak, but Tyson said that he had to make sacrifices in order to raise his hands after the fight.
Tyson admits that in order to show his best self, he gave up sex during the preparation of the fight, along with his beloved tobacco.
As we all know, Tyson had a habit of smoking when he was a boxer, and now he has a "Shencao" farm, and in order to be able to better promote his products, he often smokes cigarettes, and even says that this has a good analgesic effect.
"I've not had sex in six weeks, I haven't smoked in six weeks, and you ask me why I'm being so harsh? Normally, we like to do what we love, but sometimes we have to do what we hate, and when we encounter something we hate, you need to do it as you like. ”
Tyson added: "I hate not being able to smoke, but doing it these days is like I love it. I haven't been in contact with my wife for 6 weeks and hate that we can't sleep together, yet I'm doing what I love. ”
Tyson's performance won praise from fans, with one comment: This Tyson is scary! Another commented: Discipline, let's get the fight started! Another commented: Paul had heard the sound of sharpening knives.
In the whole sports career, the pre-game ban on sexual intercourse is not common for Tyson, at least he himself has not talked about it before, on the contrary, he said that he used to be "carried away" in this regard a few hours before the start of the game, so today's Tyson really attaches great importance to the battle with Paul, and in sports competitions, the pre-game ban on sexual intercourse is widely accepted by athletes, which is considered to help maintain the state.
For the Tyson vs Paul match, Teddy Atlas, a famous coach who coached Tyson in his amateur years, believes that age and form factors aside, this game will be the best moment to test Paul's ability to resist hitting.
"Even today's heavyweight champions, Tyson's power can still play a key role, is he too old? Maybe it's an exhibition match, but I'm interested in how Paul reacts when Tyson hits the punches, maybe the organizers won't allow that to happen at all," Atlas said. Can Paul beat Tyson? He may or may not do it! The only thing Paul can use is his age advantage. ”
