Jake Paul in amazing body transformation as he piles on over TWO STONE for Mike Tyson fight
JAKE PAUL has put on a stunning TWO STONE ahead of his fight with Mike Tyson – according to one of his coaches.
The YouTuber-turned boxer and heavyweight icon are to collide in a controversial clash on July 20 in Texas.
Not only will it mark Netflix’s first move into live boxing but it will also be Paul’s first fight at heavyweight.
The lightest the American, 27, has weighed is 183.6lb (13st 1lb) but his last two bouts have been at the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb.
Whereas Tyson was a career heavyweight at 15st 7lb, meaning Paul must pile on the pounds to match that.
And boxing legend Shane Mosley – one of Paul’s trainers in the past – the American is on the way to doing so.
Mosley said YouTube channel: “I just saw Jake yesterday, he’s 230 pounds. He’s big, really big. He said he feels as fast as he does at 185lbs.”
If Mosley is correct, then Paul has gone up to 16st 4lb, TWO STONE heavier than his last fight.
The bout – set for the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Dallas – has raised eyebrows due to the 30-year age gap.
Tyson will be 58 by the time the fight for the ages comes around and nearly 20 years removed from his last professional contest.

He was last seen in the ring in 2020 for an exhibition drawn over eight rounds with fellow great Roy Jones Jr.
And Jones sent out a warning to 9-1 Paul over Tyson’s ageless power.
He said: “The first time he hit me in the chest, it felt like a mule had kicked me in the chest.
“If he hits anybody with a shot like that, they are either going out or down, especially guys who are not used to being hit like that.
“With these types of people like Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis, these guys are bigger and can take it.
“But Jake Paul, I don’t think he’s going to be able to take that. It might hit him on the chin like that, we’ll see, but it’s going to be tough.”
