Mike Tyson says he's eating raw meat to prepare for fight against Jake Paul
Mike Tyson is getting back in the ring to face Jake Paul in his first professional fight since falling to Kevin McBride in 2005.
Granted, the expectations for this one are all over the place. While Tyson is officially an underdog on the fight, bettors have been hammering him to defeat Paul — who is just starting to make a name for himself as an actual boxer as opposed to a YouTuber.
Tyson is also 58 years old now. More than twice the age of 27-year-old Paul and with a body that has absorbed significantly more blows. So how is Iron Mike getting in shape for his big bout?
By eating raw meat, of course. Or so he claims.

Ok, sure. You may be thinking, “Oh no, Mike tasted an ear and he’s going back for more.” But I tend to believe this is Tyson bending the truth.
Maybe he’s just snacking on a charcuterie board after working out or ordering some steak tartare with dinner. If this man is really eating raw meat at 58, his body might not make it to July.
Either that or he really is made of iron.
