When Oscar winning actor made eye-opening remark about Mike Tyson’s punching “power”: “You can feel the air from it”
Oscar winning actor Halle Berry once discussed what is was like to watch Mike Tyson spar, revealing that his punching power was one of the craziest things she has witnessed live.
Tyson is currently preparing for his highly anticipated return to boxing, as he is set to face Jake Paul on Nov. 15. The pair will headline an event that takes place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with the card being livestreamed for subscribers on Netflix. It also marks the first time the streaming platform has ever hosted a combat sports event.
Throughout the build-up to the fight, much of the focus has been on the age disparity between the two fighters. When they step into the ring, Tyson, who is 58, will be 31 years older than Paul (27).
Due to their age difference, many fans have expressed a concern for Mike Tyson's health, as he hasn't fought in a professional boxing bout since he retired from the sport back in 2005.
Whilst there may be some apprehension about Tyson's chances, one person who is confident that he's still as dangerous as ever was Halle Berry. Back in September, Berry appeared on the late-night talkshow Jimmy Kimmel Live, where they discussed the former heavyweight champion's upcoming bout.
According to Berry, she had recently visited Tyson and watched him in training, stating that he still possesses the same punching power that saw him knockout 44 opponents throughout his career. She said:
"I've been to the Tyson ranch and I just love Mike. I got to to see him spar one time, like up close and personal and I mean, that's punching power. You can feel the air from it."
