In November 2020, Tyson—who is 50-6-2 professionally—won an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr.
Sonnen posted on X on Thursday, “In the future, if you’re going to spend five seconds hitting mitts, make sure you splash water on your face and T-shirt first, as a way to make the audience believe you’re doing a training session.”
Notoriety for his two championship matches against UFC icon Anderson Silva and his penchant for trash talk, Sonnen also took issue with Tyson and Paul’s age differential.
On the PBD Podcas, he compared it to Vitor Belfort of MMA boxing Evander Holyfield in 2021.

According to Chael Sonnen, Mike Tyson did not genuinely train—rather, he only briefly struck the mitts. He advised Tyson on how to pull together a convincing training DVD.
“In the future, if you’re ever going to spend five seconds hitting mitts, as a way of making the audience believe you’re doing a training session, make sure you splash water on your face and T-shirt first.”
Since Tyson was not perspiring, Chael Sonnen thought he was fabricating the training session. Fans, however, mocked Sonnen in the comments area, claiming that “Kid Dynamite” would only need to defeat him with merely five seconds of training.
