Is it plausible for a 58-year-old man to fight a 28-year-old guy? Even the proposition makes no sense but for Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, this is a fight in the making. The former heavyweight boxing champion and legend are about to clash against Paul who is fairly new to the boxing world but has aspirations to become the great. To give you a little context of how absurd this fight is, the age difference between Paul and Tyson is nearly 30 years.
Well, Dillon Danis has come forward to share a picture of Mike Tyson in a wheelchair indicating his age. The picture might be old but the fact that Tyson’s health is deteriorating is not false. The former boxing world champion has been going through some health treatments. Nonetheless, Mike Tyson fell ill on Sunday last week, according to his representative he is recovering from sudden dizziness.

According to the statement of Tyson’s representative, “He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before landing. He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him” The representative further added that his health is now ok and his recovery is on the right track.
Mike Tyson is about to clash with Jake Paul this summer at the 80,000-seat capacity stadium of the Dallas Cowboys. Furthermore, Netflix will showcase this fight live. Regardless, Tyson’s bad health seems to have put a jolt on the happening of this clash as the fight fans are concerned about their favorite legend.

Mike Tyson is probably one of the most famous and most loved boxers of all time. ‘Iron Mike’ was the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990. That was the golden period for Boxing. Fans are that Tyson has already proved his mettle and he shouldn’t fight Jake Paul now.
No need to fight Jake Paul we don’t need Mike to do this fight !
His health comes first

Moreover, another fan called out Tyson to retire as his body won’t be sustained in a fight. Tyson retired back in 2005, however, he last fought in 2020 against Roy Jones in an exhibition match. Their fight ended in a draw but that was supposed to be the last rodeo for Tyson.
He doesn’t need a fight, he needs a pipe and slippers.

Multiple fans and even fighters from across the MMA and boxing scenes think that this fight is a disgrace on Paul’s part. He is not only picking a fight with Tyson but also wants to use it to boost his reputation.
Absolute disgrace they would let this fight happen.

Even in a state of emergency, it would be an absolute bad call to underestimate a man who dominated the world of boxing in his prime and fans think that even in this state Tyson can defeat Jake Paul.
Imagine if he still beats Jake

Old-time boxers were a different breed altogether. A fan states that despite the fact that Tyson has bad pain due to his past endeavors, he will never make excuses and pull out of this fight.
Mike has a bad hip. He goes through a lot of pain and the weed he smokes helps him. He will not pull out of the fight nor will he make excuses. He’s a real champion who overcomes obstacles others would fall at the first hurdle. An old school boxer.
