UFC Boss Voices Fear for Tyson in Netflix Bout
UFC President Dana White has expressed worries about Mike Tyson's upcoming fight against Jake Paul, set to be streamed live on Netflix on July 20. Tyson, returning to the ring at 58, will face the YouTuber-turned-boxer in a highly anticipated showdown.
White's Concerns for Iron Mike
White, a long-time friend of Tyson, is apprehensive about the former heavyweight champion's decision to lace up the gloves once again. Despite his personal friendship with Tyson, White remains critical of older athletes returning to the ring, especially against much younger opponents like Jake Paul.
Age Gap and Criticism
With a 31-year age difference between Tyson and Paul, White stands firm in his disapproval of crossover and influencer fights. Tyson, who retired in 2005 but made a comeback in 2020 for an exhibition match, will face a tough challenge against Paul, who has been active in the ring in recent years.
