Paul redirected his energy to facing boxers with more experience, after suffering a decision loss to Tommy Fury in 2023, with the goal of being ranked by a sanctioning body and eventually challenging for a world championship. He followed the traditional boxing track for two bouts -- knockout wins over journeymen Andre August and Ryan Bourland -- before he pivoted back to a fight against Tyson.
The latter competed against Tommy Fury in early 2023, losing against the half-brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tommy Fury via split decision. Before the fight in Saudi Arabia, Paul earned an easy $250,000. All he had to do was get a tattoo of the vodka brand Au Vodka.
But right now it’s time to get to work. The warehouse where Tyson has set up his camp is next to the headquarters of the Las Vegas Raiders, and team owner Mark Davis is letting Tyson use the space, which is minutes away from Tyson’s house. Perhaps not coincidentally, the color scheme is very Raiders. A tall black curtain separates the training area, with its black-and-silver weight equipment, from the rest of the more-than-15,000-square-foot structure and contrasts with the white walls and ceilings. On one wall and hanging above the ring are black-and-white signs that read mike tyson boxing club. Behind a rack of dumbbells, there’s a large black-and-white poster board with a photo of Tyson—hands wrapped, towel over his head—and a quote from the former heavyweight champ himself: "Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but doing it like you love it."
Mike Tyson has been chronicling his intense training in the lead-up to his fight with YouTuber-turned-boxer jake paul with mike tyson tattoo Paul at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX on July 20. The bout, which will air on Netflix, will find the 57-year-old former undisputed heavyweight boxing champ taking on the 27-year-old Paul in Iron Mike’s first official fight in 19 years.
"Just to hear that roar, it's like a spike in your life," Pedro said. Every day we are training hard, and then just to have that big spike, there's almost a come down after it, to be honest. I'm excited to hear that roar. I just want to get my work done, get in that Top 10 and then keep grinding."
After months of dancing around rules for their controversial boxing match this summer, on Monday it was announced that the bout has been officially sanctioned and will go down as a professional matchup.
Paul’s face tattoo, however, is fake since they did not show the tattoo being done properly, which means this was just for promoting the fight. Furthermore, Paul blatantly imitating Tyson is his way of paying homage to the legend, but several fans did not enjoy it.
He is also unsurprisingly bullish about his chances against the fighter three decades his senior. "My sights are set on becoming a world champion," a separate post from Paul says in part," and now I have a chance to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion of the world, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time. Time to put Iron Mike to sleep."
Contrary to what one might expect, the tattoo was not planned to carry a deep spiritual meaning. Initially contemplating a design of multiple hearts, Tyson was steered towards a tribal pattern by his tattoo artist, Victor Perez, who suggested something that would be visually striking and more suited to Tyson’s fierce image. Mike Tyson’s face tattoo design draws inspiration from Maori tribal markings, which are traditional symbols of strength and courage — qualities that Tyson resonated with.
"I did my last camp there, as well, but it was definitely upped in intensity," Pedro said. "I can only imagine it's going to get harder and harder, especially as opponents get harder and harder, but I feel pretty freaking amazing."

Paul started his professional boxing career in early 2020 and has since won nine of 10 fights — six of which ended with knockouts — against "mostly undistinguished opponents," the Associated Press noted.
Since making his UFC debut in 2016 - in just his fifth professional fight - Pedro has had a "take all comers" approach. While that has meant some losses against more experienced opposition, Pedro does not regret choosing a baptism by fire.
