Sports Seriously’s Mackenzie Salmon weighs in on Jake Paul’s bold boxing match against Mike Tyson.
The upcoming boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is set to take place in a completely different setting than Tyson’s original training ground. The gym where Tyson is currently preparing for the bout, located in the Las Vegas area, has been making waves on social media due to its sleek and modern design.
Designed by Tyson’s wife Kiki, the gym is modeled after the Mike Tyson Boxing Club in Saudi Arabia. While it may be a scaled-down version, the facility has been an integral part of Tyson’s training regimen, with support from Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis and his team.
The gym features state-of-the-art equipment and training tools, including the Cus D’Amato Willie Heavy Bag that Tyson used to practice punching combinations. The facility is not open to the public and is very private according to Tyson’s publicist Joann Mignano.
As the boxing match approaches, the cutting-edge training space has been attracting attention from both boxing fans and observers alike. With a combination of Tyson’s past training tools and his current regimen in this modern facility, it will be interesting to see how he performs come fight night.
