- Deontay Wilder expressed his thoughts on Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson being sanctioned as a pro boxing match
- “The Bronze Bomber” is worried about “Iron Mike” getting hurt and ending up in coma
Deontay Wilder has voiced his concerns for Mike Tyson ahead of his pro boxing match with Jake Paul and blames the commission for allowing it to happen.
It should’ve never been sanctioned
In a recent interview, “The Bronze Bomber” shared his honest thoughts on the talked-about Paul vs. Tyson boxing match. For Wilder, the commission should’ve prioritized Tyson’s safety over anything else and shouldn’t have sanctioned it as a pro bout.
Wilder is fearing the worst for “The Baddest Man on the Planet” given that Tyson has not competed professionally in almost two decades.
“I think it’s bad the commission licensed Mike Tyson because he hasn’t been active in 20 years, so they should not just license him because of who he is, that’s how people get hurt,” former WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder Sportsbook Review. “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.
Deontay feels nobody cares about Tyson
Wilder believes that nobody with the authority and capability over the situation cares about Tyson’s health. As a fan, “The Bronze Bomber” refused to watch the fight because he doesn’t want to see “Iron Mike” suffer at the hands of somebody like Paul.
“He’s too old for this. At the end of the day, no one gives a f**k about Mike. We can talk about the pros and cons, but at the end of the day, they don’t give a f**k,” Wilder pointed out.
“I don’t think anyone cares about Mike because if they did they wouldn’t sanction the fight,” he continued. “They may say they’ve done tests and all that, okay, 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. I don’t want to see it to be honest. I don’t want the last thing I remember of him is him getting knocked out by a YouTuber. The last thing you do, that’s what people remember you by.”
Paul has remained respectful to Tyson leading up to the fight. However, “The Problem Child” insists that it wouldn’t be the case once they step inside the ring as he vows to end Tyson and his legacy.
Paul vs. Tyson will take place on July 20 and will be aired by Netflix.
