Jake Paul is set to face-off with Mike Tyson in a highly anticipated boxing match, which is scheduled for November 15. That is to say, in a recent training video that Paul posted on Instagram, there was something very noticeably different about Paul's physique, as his belly appeared much bigger than it was before.
In the clip, the popular social media personality showed himself bench pressing shirtless and he looked... fat.

Paul captioned the video, "New PR, 500 pounds, I am the strongest heavyweight in existence."
However, fans seemed to pay more attention to his body more so than this accomplishment, as there were some questions raised in regards to if it was really his belly or some sort of fat suit, as some of his tattoos were visibly missing.
"When you due bro," Jake's older brother, Logan Paul, asked.
To mention, Paul was more than likely trolling with both the belly and the weights presumably being fake.

In view of the fight, Paul and Tyson were initially supposed to box in the heavyweight showdown on July 20, but this got delayed as a result of Tyson experiencing medical issues while on a flight back in May. This led to Paul fighting bare-knuckle fighter Mike Perry, in which he won in a sixth-round TKO.
Mike Tyson has also been showing himself training for the fight, ever since this past spring, while proving he is taking his bout with the 27-year-old YouTuber seriously by further claiming that he is giving up weed and women in preparation.

Paul and Tyson held a press conference in August, in which they faced off on stage.
The two fighters also met on the field at AT&T Stadium before the Saints beat the Cowboys, 44-19 last Sunday.
