Training Regimens: Tyson vs. Paul
Mike Tyson
At 58, Tyson has shifted his focus from pure aggression to strategic power and conditioning. His training combines intense cardio with explosive, targeted boxing drills, aiming to harness his knockout power without overexertion. Unlike his youth, Tyson now trains with a more relaxed mindset, taking his time to enjoy the process, which he believes gives him a mental edge. He expects Paul to rely on evasion, but Tyson’s confidence in his power may lead to an early knockout.
