Jake Paul Could Knock Out Tyson—Permanently [WATCH]

Hulk Hogan recently voiced concerns about Jake Paul taking on the legendary Mike Tyson in their upcoming fight, set for November.

The 71-year-old wrestling icon shared his thoughts during an appearance on Logan Paul’s podcast, “Impaulsive,” where he didn’t shy away from expressing his apprehension about the match, as reported by the New York Post.

According to Hogan, Jake Paul’s strength might be too much for Tyson, who, despite his storied career, could be at a disadvantage against the younger fighter.

“Your brother is too strong,” Hogan told Logan. He went on to describe a moment that particularly worried him. “As soon as I saw him get the guy up with the left to throw the overhand right? I went, ‘Oh, my God.’… I mean, really, it was scary. I love Mike to death. I don’t want him to kill Mike. Jesus,” Hogan said.

His concern for Tyson, 58, was clear, especially given the unpredictable nature of fights, particularly when raw power comes into play.

Originally scheduled for July, the much-anticipated fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson had to be postponed. Tyson suffered a medical emergency during a flight, forcing the fight to be rescheduled for November 15.

Before the fight’s postponement, Tyson spoke to Esquire about why he continues to fight, even in his late 50s. His explanation was simple: the allure of glory.

“I’m a glory junkie. I love people thinking about me all day,” Tyson admitted. “I’d rather live a short life of glory than a long life of obscurity. It’s just who I am.”

Tyson, always candid, expressed his lifelong hunger for status and recognition. “This is all I started fighting for – to get all this f—ing status. I’m going to be chasing it for the rest of my life. I know that. I’m never going to get what I want, because I’m one of those gluttons for pain. I can never get enough.”

On the other side of the fight, Jake Paul also has his reasons for stepping into the ring with the former heavyweight champion. In an interview with The Post over the summer, Paul discussed his motivations for taking on the challenge. “I just want to take a risk,” Paul said.

Paul acknowledged the difficulty of the fight and admitted that it might not be the safest decision.

“I think I am crazy for this; I definitely am because I don’t think anyone would take the risk in this position, but that’s just what makes me different. I’m not slowing down for anyone and I want to stay active in the gym,” he said.

Still, Paul showed respect for Tyson, noting the veteran fighter’s enduring power. “He’s Mike Tyson at the end of the day. He has lethal knockout power and is very, very experienced. I think it is going to be a brawl regardless,” Paul added.

The fight, now scheduled for November 15, promises to be an intense showdown between youth and experience, with both men determined to prove something in the ring.
