As the fight gets closer, the excitement of the fans increases.

While Tyson’s legacy as a boxer is undeniable, Friday’s bout sees him beat Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. It will be his first fight since facing him in an exhibition match. Tyson hasn’t boxed professionally since 2005.

Meanwhile, Paul is in his prime. He compiled a 10-1 record in his first 11 fights, winning four straight; his most recent victory was a technical knockout of Mike Perry in July, which occurred on the original date of his fight with Tyson.

Paul, 27, has an age advantage over 58-year-old Tyson, but it should still be an interesting fight. Tyson’s recent training videos and Tuesday’s open workout prove that he is still in fighting shape and is looking to pick up a big win against Paul.
