Hulk Hogan Fears for Mike Tyson’s Safety in Jake Paul Bout

Hogan Worries for Tyson’s Safety

Hulk Hogan, a close friend of Mike Tyson and a leg­endary fig­ure in pro­fes­sion­al wrestling, is wor­ried that the sig­nif­i­cant age dif­fer­ence between the 58-year-old Tyson and the 27-year-old Jake Paul, com­bined with Tyson’s recent health issues, could make the bout extreme­ly dan­ger­ous for the box­ing legend.

Tyson’s Medical Scare Delays Fight

The fight between Tyson and Paul was ini­tial­ly sched­uled for July, but was post­poned after Tyson suf­fered a med­ical scare in May. Tyson became nau­seous and dizzy on a flight, forc­ing the cab­in crew to ask pas­sen­gers if there was a doc­tor on board to pro­vide assistance.

Hogan Fears Paul is “Too Strong”

Hogan voiced his con­cerns dur­ing a recent pod­cast appear­ance, refer­ring to Paul as “too strong” and “scary,” before stat­ing the YouTu­ber-turned-box­er could “kill” Tyson in the ring. Hogan is wor­ried that Tyson’s health and the age gap between the two fight­ers could make the bout too risky.

Tyson Confident Despite Health Concerns

Despite the health con­cerns, Tyson remains con­fi­dent that he can defeat Paul and insists there is noth­ing to wor­ry about in terms of his health head­ing into the bout. How­ev­er, fans are still wor­ried, and the Texas Licens­ing Reg­u­la­tors will now only assess Tyson the day before the fight.
