“This Is How You Get Hurt” Deontay Wilder Didn’t Hesitate To Name Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul Winner.

Mike Tyson is set to return to professional boxing for the first time in nearly twenty years when he takes on YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

The former heavyweight champion, who is now 58-years-old, had to postpone the original fight date due to an ulcer flare-up, but says he is now in great shape and vows to end Paul’s boxing career.

Many fighters have raised concerns about ‘Iron’ Mike taking on a man over thirty years his junior. One of those doubters is former WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder. When asked about the contest, Wilder shared his worries for Tyson and gave him little chance of getting the victory

“I think it’s bad the commission has licensed Mike Tyson because he hasn’t been active in 20 years, so they should not just licence him because of who he is, that’s how people get hurt, god forbid he gets hurt. People can get hit in the wrong place and at the wrong time, there’s lots of examples where guys have been hit into a coma. It’s easy to do. He’s too old for this.

At the end of the day, no one gives a f*** about Mike. We can talk about the pros and cons, but at the end of the day, they don’t give a f***. I don’t think anyone cares about Mike because if they did they wouldn’t sanction the fight.

They may say they’ve done tests and all that, ok, but as long as you’re willing to suffer the consequences if something bad goes wrong. His power may not have left completely but you still need to set it up, your stamina needs to be a certain way, or it’s going to look like a clown show.”

Paul vs Tyson takes place on November 15 at the AT&T stadium in Texas and will be streamed live on Netflix as part of a standard subscription.
