"Slow af and feet stuck to the ground" - Fans say Jake Paul looks "worse instead of better" despite extensive training in lead-up to Mike Tyson fight

Jake Paul shared sparring footage ahead of his boxing match with heavyweight stalwart Mike Tyson, but fans didn't appear impressed.

As the much-awaited boxing match between YouTuber Paul and boxing legend Tyson draws nearer, fans are curious to see what will happen if the fight happens.

Paul is in no mood to let the anticipation die down as he's actively been promoting the bout through his social media. He recently posted footage of him sparring in preparation for his clash with the heavyweight titan, saying:

"41 DAYS. #PaulTyson"

Rather than fueling excitement, the YouTuber-turned-boxer's apparent lack of athleticism perplexed fans, who expressed dissatisfaction in the comments section.

One fan wrote how the influencer seemed worse than before:

"Why is he getting worse instead of better"

Another fan added:

"Slow af and the feet stuck to the ground. God the day h gets the balls to get in the ring with KSI it will actually be very disappointing fight. All that wait for a domination and at most 3 rds"

One fan wrote:

"Are we supposed to be impressed by this?"

Eddie Hearn is taking Jake Paul to court over bribery allegations

Jake Paul is facing legal action from promoter Eddie Hearn. The British boxing promoter is suing 'The Problem Child' over some allegations he leveled against the promoter. It all started when Katie Taylor, then promoted by Hearn, defeated Amanda Serrano, who was affiliated with Paul's Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) when the fight happened. The 27-year-old accused Taylor's promoter of bribing Glen Feldman, one of the judges officiating the match, to favor 'The Giant Slayer.'

Hearn is not letting the accusations slide, as he appears to be suing Paul over the bribery allegations. 'The Problem Child' is now ordered to appear in court on Oct. 16. Following the court order, the Matchroom boxing promoter spoke with Boxing King media and said this:

"The reports came out today because it was documented in court that he tried to get the case dismissed and it was ruled against him. It proceeds on October 16th, it's an unfortunate position to be in. But it's not something that I'm prepared to let slide. What he said was unacceptable and detrimental to my reputation and our business. It has to be dealt with."
