Jake Paul breaks boxing’s unspoken rule with controversial workout video ahead of Mike Tyson fight

Boxing fans are calling on Mike Tyson to teach Jake Paul a lesson in their fight next month after the YouTuber sparked controversy by sharing footage of his training sessions online.

Jake Paul caused a stir when he posted a video of himself knocking down one of his sparring partners, breaking an unspoken rule of boxing.

Paul is currently training for his highly anticipated meeting with Mike Tyson, which takes place next month. The match was originally scheduled for this summer but did not take place because Tyson developed an inflamed ulcer and needed to rest.

The former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world has returned to training but has barely shared any videos of his sessions since returning to the gym. However, Paul has kept his followers updated and recently posted a video on his social media account showing him knocking down his training partner, DeAndre Savage.

Savage, a heavyweight, won six of his eight professional fights, stopping his opponents each time. His other two matches were declared a no contest, one due to an injury to his opponent and the other after an accidental hit, which led to a premature termination in his last outing.
