Mike Tyson shared video clips of him training for his upcoming boxing bout with Jake Paul in July in a Wednesday night Twitter clip, and the champ looked pretty damn good.

The 10-second clip, which Tyson captioned, “‘It’s day 1…the fun has just begun,'” shows him slugging his trainer’s padded gloves and dodging incoming strikes. For a 57-year-old, the dude can still move. Jake Paul must be shaking in boots right now, right?

The pair will square off July 20th at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, for a boxing match that’s set to be Netflix’s first-ever live sporting event.

While Jake Paul has managed to build a solid career and a nice little reputation for himself as a boxer, he’s still facing Mike Tyson, arguably the most feared man to ever set foot in a ring.

Paul, who appears to be quite friendly with Tyson, joked about the infamous incident where Tyson bit a piece of Evander Holyfield’s ear off. (RELATED: UFC Legend In Hospital After Saving Parents From House Fire: REPORT)

“I would be be down for him to bite my ear off,” Paul joked with NBA player Thanasis Antetokounmpo during a taping of his podcast.

Paul is 9-1 in his boxing career, his one loss coming from professional boxer Tommy Fury.
