Iron Mike will be at the advanced age of 58 when the pair trade heavy leather in the Texas dispute.
Tyson tried to calm fears about his health by releasing a series of videos of him ferociously hitting the pads with coach Rafael Cordeiro.
But the length of the clips – most of which are less than ten seconds – has done little to convince boxing fans that he will be competitive in the fight.
One commented: “There’s a reason this only lasts 6 seconds.”
Another said: “Now slow down the tape to real time.”
And another said: “5 second clips everywhere.”
One commented: “We all want to believe it, but we can’t until we see some proof of when the footage was filmed.”
Another chimed in: “People who fall in love with Mike Tyson’s glove work big in 2024.”

Some viewers, however, were somewhat convinced by the footage and think Tyson will teach ‘Trouble Child’ Paul a lesson.
One wrote: “Jake Paul in trouble Bruh.”
Another said: “Wouldn’t get in the ring with Mike even if he was pushing 80!”
And another said: “Mike Tyson is going to yell at that kid.”
One commented: “Jake Paul should be worried unless he is rigged.”
Another added: “I hate people who lie about their age, I really do. Blud, you’re about 30 years old.
“No 60-year-old man should move here. WTF, man.”
Tyson has not set foot in the ring since his shock Covid clash with boxing great Roy Jones Jr in November 2020.
The once fierce New Yorker looked like a shell of his former self as he shuffled around the ring in the bizarre display.
But Paul insists he will pull no punches in the crossover clash.
The 27-year-old said: “It’s war. All is fair in love and war.
“I love the guy, but as soon as it becomes professional wrestling, one of us has to die.
“He’s taking this very, very seriously and that’s what’s going to make the fight amazing for all the fans.”
Mike Tyson’s controversial return
Mike Tyson is back!
Yes, the youngest heavyweight champion of all time – just 20 years old when he achieved the feat – is preparing to lace them up again.
He will face YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul on July 20 in Texas.
The controversial matchup – set for the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Dallas – was scrutinized in relation to the 30-year age difference.
Tyson will be 58 when the fight for eternity arrives and almost 20 years after his last professional competition.
He was last seen in the ring in November 2020 for an exhibition with legend Roy Jones Jr, which ended in a draw after eight rounds.
Meanwhile, Paul is 9-1 in the ring, losing only to Tommy Fury in 2023, and has won three times since then.
His fight with Tyson will also be a historic milestone on Netflix, with over 250 MILLION subscribers able to watch the fight.
