MIKE TYSON watched Jake Paul spar for 30 SECONDS… as he wanted to look at pictures in the boxing gym.
Legendary coach Freddie Roach – who once worked with Tyson – revealed Paul trained in his famous WildCard gym in Los Angeles.

And heavyweight legend Iron Mike happened to be there the same day when the YouTuber-turned boxer was sparring.
But according to Hall of Famer Roach, the boxing icon had little interest in watching Paul and preferred to tour the gym walls.
Roach told FightHype: “Tyson looked at him and left.
“He saw 30 seconds of him sparring and said, ‘Freddie, can we go down and see the pictures?’
“He knows that’s where the good pictures are. He wasn’t as interested as I was.”
Tyson, 56, helped launch Paul’s boxing career with a spot on his undercard in 2020.
At the time, the social media sensation had won his professional boxing debut by beating online rival “AnEsonGib” in one round.
Tyson returned to the ring after 15 years out and drew with Roy Jones Jr, 53, in an exhibition bout.

But Paul, 25, stole the show as he brutally knocked out ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, in two rounds.
Since then, he has beaten former UFC pair Ben Askren, 38, and Tyron Woodley, 40, knocking the ex-UFC champion out in their rematch.
Paul returns on October 29 in Arizona against UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, who also has a 4-1 boxing record.
It is unclear when the American visited Roach’s gym but it is safe to say Manny Pacquiao’s mentor was not overly impressed.
He said: “The kid’s OK, a club fighter.
“I don’t know him personally and I’ve never really met him. He was in my gym and wondered if they could use the ring and I said go ahead.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types: Left Hook (right hook), Right Hook (uppercut), Cross (cross), Straight, Overhand, Underhand. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches are more powerful than others. An uppercut, for instance, requires tremendous strength. On the contrary, a straight punch takes less power but is faster than most punches.
There are many combinations that can be used to punch. These are combinations of punches which work together to achieve a goal. A combination may have multiple parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
Boxers use their bodies to defend themselves against attack. He does this using his legs and arms, elbows as well as hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers should use their legs to defend against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. If the attack comes from the front, then he bends his knees to avoid being kicked on the side. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.
Elbows
Because they cause great pain, elbow strikes are extremely effective. An elbow strike can be delivered either directly or indirectly. Directly means that your opponent is hit with your forearm. However, indirectly means that your elbow strike is delivered with another part or your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their arms to stop incoming blows. Boxers use their hands to stop incoming punches. They raise their fists up above their heads and move towards the attack. They then touch the attackers fist.
Knees
A boxer should bend his knees in order to absorb any blows to his stomach, abdomen, chest or stomach. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.
Feet
Boxers should respond to being attacked by their opponent by standing back and delivering counter-attacks. He can then gain distance from his opponent. Also, boxers must maintain their balance while delivering counter-attacks.
Stances
In order to box effectively, a boxer needs to establish a stance. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. There are many positions that boxers can adopt. These are some of our most favorite:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
A boxer must change his position, speed and rhythm in order to win the fight. This includes changing speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
To increase his punching power, a boxer rotates when he throws a punch. Different types of punches require different speeds for the rotation.
Combinations
Timing of each punch is crucial to the effectiveness of a combination. A combination of strong and weak punches will produce a good result.
Spare parts
Sparring, a boxing practice session, is designed to improve your boxing skills. Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. Sparring, in conclusion, is about learning how to fight and not getting hurt.
It is important to be patient and dedicated when learning how to box. Boxing is a sport that requires dedication and perseverance.
