While it’s understandable to worry about the health of a man of bus pass age in America, perhaps the real concern should be directed towards the other corner of the ring.
Mike Tyson, at 57 years old, is stepping back into the ring to face Paul in an unconventional matchup. The former unified heavyweight world champion possesses arguably the most devastating punch in ring history.
Tyson isn’t just another opponent for Paul, who has been steamrolling through lesser-known fighters since transitioning from YouTube to boxing.
Even if I were 50 years younger, I wouldn’t want to face Tyson’s lethal punch.
Throughout his illustrious career, Tyson made a habit of knocking out seasoned heavyweights with a single devastating blow. And the last thing any boxer loses is their power.
Tyson wouldn’t be returning to the ring if he didn’t believe he could still inflict damage on his younger opponent.
Recent footage of him demolishing the heavy bag in the gym serves as a testament to his enduring power.
Paul may be attempting to carve out a boxing career for himself, but facing Tyson will undoubtedly be his toughest challenge yet.
Their upcoming bout in Dallas is expected to pack the biggest National Football League Stadium in America.
While some may question the wisdom of this event, it’s bound to draw massive attention. And while the medical profession may express concerns, perhaps they’re overlooking the true risk in this showdown.
