Jake Paul has uploaded a video of him sending one of his sparring partners to the canvas ahead of his upcoming clash with Mike Tyson.

‘The Problem Child’ is set to square off with Tyson on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

As he gears up for what is anticipated to be one of the most-viewed fights of the 21st Century, Paul is leaving no stone unturned in training.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer is moving up to heavyweight for the first time in his career and has been sparring with some seriously big men in preparation for the jump up in weight.

On Thursday afternoon, he gave his followers a taste of the gruelling rounds he has been banking in the gym by uploading a clip of him dropping a sparring partner twice his size.

Paul sent his adversary tumbling to the canvas with a huge right hand and then sent a message to his next dance partner.

“Don’t charge at me, Tyson,” he shouted at the camera.

In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Paul revealed that he is anticipating Tyson will ‘try to force him against the ropes’.

‘Iron Mike’ recently celebrated his 58th birthday and isn’t expected to have enough gas left in the tank to beat his much younger opponent over the eight-round distance.

The last thing to go in a boxer is their power and Tyson still carries that in bursts.

However, he will have to cause a dent early if he hopes to get his hand raised.

In order to stop this from happening, Paul insists he will ‘box on the outside’ and use his footwork to force Tyson to chase him.

When the former undisputed heavyweight champion is ‘out of position’, Paul says he will attack.

Both men were initially booked to face each other on July 20.

But the fight got called off after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up on a flight to Los Angeles.

Tyson’s PR team insisted he had made a full recovery yet further checks from doctors deemed him medically unfit to compete this summer.

As a result, the crossover clash was pushed back by four months.

Tyson later revealed that ‘bad food’ had caused the ulcer.

 “I was doing too much bad food and stuff, and I got sick,” he told the Daily Mail.

He has since cut out processed foods and is ‘eating clean’ in the lead-up to fight night.
