Mike Tyson health sparks worries as ex-boxing champ concerned by training

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience in the virtual ring, I must say that I find myself quite apprehensive about the upcoming fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. The age gap between these two fighters is staggering, and as we’ve seen in real life, age doesn’t always play fair in the boxing world.


A former boxing champion has raised concerns about Mike Tyson’s health ahead of his fight with Jake Paul, saying ‘Iron’ Mike looks “pregnant” in person. 

Initially, when it became public knowledge that Jake Paul and Mike Tyson would be squaring off in a match, many critics raised concerns due to the significant difference in their ages. Given that Tyson is 58 years old, there were also worries about his participation potentially posing health risks.

Despite being originally scheduled for a July fight, ‘Iron’ Mike was forced to cancel due to an unexpected ulcer flare-up. The contest has now been rescheduled for mid-November, but there remains apprehension about his health status. Given concerns from Netflix and other promoters, he will need to undergo thorough medical examinations prior to the match.

They’re not the only ones who are worried, though. Erich ‘Butterbean’ Esch, the former world super heavyweight champion, also has a few concerns. 

According to Esch, I ran into Mike approximately three weeks back, and he seemed as if he were expecting a child. Esch added that Mike, being chinless, lacks the courage to stand up against Tyson, a common issue among those who have been defeated by him.

Previously crowned as the world’s heaviest weight champion, often known as Tyson, was labeled a “predator” due to his aggressive fighting style that involved attacking first.

As I contemplate the possibility of squaring off with Mike Tyson once more, I can’t help but imagine myself standing before him. I’d give it my all, and just maybe, I’d deliver a knockout punch to his chin, proving yet again that I’m ready for this matchup, even at 58 years old.

As a fervent admirer, I’m excited about the approaching Paul vs Tyson duel. Interestingly, the 57-year-old contender has challenged Jake to step into the ring too! He dangled a $2 million prize in front of ‘The Problem Child’, contingent on Tyson backing out, but he also labeled their potential fight as a “scam.

Regardless of worries about ‘Iron’ Mike’s wellbeing, Jake has yet to choose a standby fighter for the matchup. Instead, he remains completely engrossed in the boxing icon, presumably transitioning to MMA by next year.
