The anticipation surrounding the upcoming bout between former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and former YouTube star Jake Paul is palpable among boxing fans, with excitement and concern both running high. Despite the 30-year age gap between the two fighters, the fully-professional encounter promises to be a spectacle when the bell rings at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
As preparations for the July 20 bout are underway, both Tyson and Paul are intensifying their training regimens. Paul has reportedly focused on building muscle in anticipation of the fight, while Tyson has raised eyebrows with his adoption of a controversial new dietary regimen.
During a recent appearance on “The Damon Elliott Show,” Tyson revealed that he has been adhering to a raw meat-based diet as part of his preparation for the showdown with Paul, whom Tyson humorously referred to as “raw meat” himself.
While proponents of raw meat consumption tout potential benefits such as improved digestion and increased energy, the scientific consensus warns of the risks associated with consuming uncooked meat. Raw meat can harbor harmful bacteria and pathogens that pose serious health risks to humans, including the potential for infection.
Tyson’s lighthearted joke about Paul being “raw meat” raises questions about the seriousness of his dietary approach. Combined with existing medical concerns surrounding his age and extended hiatus from professional boxing, Tyson’s unconventional diet choice adds another layer of intrigue to his preparations for the fight.
As Tyson continues to train for his first professional bout since 2005, his dietary regimen and overall health will remain topics of interest and scrutiny among fans and observers. With the fight drawing nearer, all eyes will be on Tyson and Paul as they step into the ring for what promises to be an unforgettable showdown.
