Jake Paul holds a distinct advantage over Mike Tyson when it comes to their punch stats.

‘The Problem Child’ is set to square off against Tyson in a controversial professional heavyweight contest on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas live on Netflix.

Tyson hasn’t competed as a professional since 2005

Concerns have been raised about Tyson’s health as he gears up to face a man 31 years his junior.

‘Iron Mike’ is 58 years old and has only competed once in the last 18 years – an exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr in 2020.

Given his age and inactivity, few give him much of a chance against his 27-year-old foe, who has been actively competing in the paid ranks for the last four years.

Tyson has been trying to persuade people otherwise by posting short pad work videos, to prove he still possesses the tools to hang with Paul.

However, the majority of these videos are made up of short five-second clips that have been pieced together, leading fans to doubt his fitness.

And those concerns will only be raised further when comparing Tyson and Paul’s punch output in their fights.

Paul averages an output of 34.7 punches per round, which is very close to Tyson’s 34 per round in his prime.

But during his most recent outing against Jones Jr, Tyson threw a worryingly low average of 24.1 punches per round.

To put that into perspective, Zhilei Zhang, who has the lowest punch output out of the current crop of heavyweights averages 27.6 punches per round.

Meanwhile, heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk comes in at 46.7 just above the 41 average for top fighters in boxing’s glamour division.

Paul throws less punches than the average cruiserweight but he still way more active than Tyson

Tyson threw 34 punches a round in his prime now he has dropped to 24.1

Paul is a very low-output boxer but he is still 34.48 per cent more active than the 2020 version of Tyson.

Whether this changes drastically for the former undisputed heavyweight champion in his next fight is yet to be seen.

But as he nears 60 it is unlikely he is going to set a considerably higher pace.

Tyson landed fewer than 10 punches in any round against Jones Jr and failed to land his jab at all in rounds two and eight, which is extremely concerning given that the lead hand sets up everything else.

The majority of the shots he landed were power punches (57) while he only connected with 10 jabs in the entire eight-round contest.

In stark contrast, Paul averages 18.3 jabs a round.

The contest will be contested over eight two-minute rounds and currently, Tyson is struggling to complete six in sparring.

Following a recent six-round spar, he told USA Today: “It’s hard to walk right now

“But two months from now I’m going to be perfect. The fight is won in the gym.

“Listen, I’ll do anything that will help me. I’m going to enjoy my time here tonight with all my childhood friends, and the hell with Jake Paul.”

‘My bet’s getting lower’ – Mike Tyson leaves TV presenter stunned after revealing training routine for Jake Paul fight

Mike Tyson’s training routine has left a TV presenter doubting the legend will beat Jake Paul.

Tyson is currently in a full training camp at the age of 58 as he prepares for his stunning comeback in a sanctioned professional fight with Paul on November 15.

Tyson trains for six hours a day with breaks, to the surprise of Kimmel

Naturally, the legend has faced widespread health concerns given his age and the fact he hasn’t fought competitively since retiring in 2005.

‘Iron Mike’ has been posting training footage from his current preparations, which he was quizzed on during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel.

Kimmel pledged his support for Tyson, and asked: “Are you training hard, how many hours a day?”

Tyson replied: “I am training extremely hard, I do six hours a day. I start at 11am and might leave the gym at 5pm.”

Kimmel then looked stunned and said: “Oh no. 11am? So that’s six hours straight, or is there a lunch break?”

Tyson added there was a small break to which Kimmel replied: “Oh no.”

He then continued to explain: “I also get a massage and then go into strength and conditioning.

The presenter was clearly not too pleased with his answer, but then asked: “Will you be high, maybe on marijuana for the fight?”

To which the boxing legend continued: “Not really, I haven’t smoked so not any time soon.

“I will be so high off of life yeah. It is a possibility too [he will be high on marijuana].”

Kimmel wasn’t as convinced with the fight result after hearing his routine

The host then concluded: “Oh no my bet is getting lower as we talk.”

He comically put his head in his hands, but revealed continuously he would be backing the veteran to deliver an astonishing KO.

It was a fascinating insight into his routine, particularly given he has admitted he is ‘struggling’ with the physical aspect of training.

Tyson even revealed he has been sparring in the ring, which has left him ‘struggling to walk’.

It will be a tough challenge given Paul is in his physical prime at the age of 26, despite having far less experience.

The former undisputed champion does clearly still carry an element of his ferocious punching power, and harbours hopes of delivering another trademark KO against the odds.
