Trainer for Mike Tyson Addresses Safety Concerns Regarding Jake Paul Fight
Mike Tyson’s trainer for his next fight, against Jake Paul, has expressed his opinion on whether it’s safe for the heavyweight legend to return to the ring.
When Iron Mike steps into the ring on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas to face The Problem Child, he will be 58 years old. This means that on fight night, there will be a generational difference between the two fighters.
Many well-known boxers have expressed concerns over this number, including Eddie Hearn, Dana White, Conor McGregor, and Frank Warren. They all question whether Tyson should be permitted to compete so close to being 60 years old.
A physician recently expressed similar views, claiming that the veteran boxer would risk rupturing brain veins if he continued to box at his age.The Doctor’s Remarks Regarding Mike Tyson’s Battle With Jake Paul
Dr. Stephen Hughes, senior lecturer in medicine at Anglia Ruskin University, believes that if Tyson moves through with his plans to fight the 27-year-old social media sensation, he will be putting himself in danger of serious injury. Regarding the possible consequences of a brain tear, Hughes issued the following warning:
Blood builds up and presses against the brain as a result of these ruptured veins bleeding. Confusion, unconsciousness, neurological impairment, and occasionally even death result from this. The brain tends to lose volume as people age.
The bridging veins get longer as a result, increasing their susceptibility to rupture. Alcoholism is known to hasten the atrophy of the brain, and Tyson seems to have a history of alcoholism.
It’s a startling appraisal of what might occur to an elderly boxer during a battle and begs important concerns about whether it makes sense for retired fighters to keep competing as they get older.
Rafael Cordeiro, Tyson’s coach, quickly downplayed claims that the match between Tyson and Paul was irresponsible. We’re talking about a global champion.
During an interview on the MMA hour, Cordeiro was asked if he thought Tyson’s health and well-being would suffer from the impending fight with Paul. He responded with a strong no.
I think there’s no need for us to worry about it. We’re talking about a two-time world champion, Tyson’s seasoned coach of fifty-eight fights, a Brazilian, stated.
In two years, the man did not engage in twenty bouts. Tyler is a skilled fighter. He has faced off against the world’s top fighters. He is aware of what to do when he enters the ring. For Mike, it’s nothing new. He puts forth a lot of effort every day to enter there and attempt to take Jake out.
He hasn’t had any training in fighting; this is his style. In July, he’s going to demonstrate that. When he trains, you can see fire in his eyes. It really seems like it will be a fantastic concert. Entering the ring as the former Mike Tyson, Mike will attempt to knock out Jake throughout the entire fight.
Throughout the videos of Tyson’s sparring sessions that the boxing legend has been posting on social media on a regular basis, Cordeiro has taken a lot of flak. When asked how his boxer was doing in the gym, the trainer said with excitement:
Mike is a terrifying creature. Mike will definitely touch Jake; we’ll see how he responds to that. Respectfully, Paul is a nice kid, but he hasn’t competed against a legend in the field.
As the coach of numerous previous UFC champions, including Cris Cyborg, Fabricio Werdum, and Anderson Silva, Cordeiro is undoubtedly no stranger to success in combat sports. But if he can guide Tyson to victory over Paul this summer, it would be the renowned trainer’s finest accomplishment to date.
