The 57-year-old Mike Tyson’s trainer is adamant that the star has no fears of sustaining a brain injury from Jake Paul, even if a doctor has informed him that there could be fatal consequences.
When Mike Tyson steps back into the ring on July 20 to take on Jake Paul, his trainer, Rafael Cordeiro, is not worried that Tyson could sustain a brain injury.
Doctor Stephen Hughes issued a severe warning to Cordeiro about the potentially fatal repercussions for Tyson, but Cordeiro approved Tyson’s first professional fight since 2005.When the boxers face off in four months, they will be 31 years apart in age.
Many doubt Tyson’s ability to continue performing at a high level, even though he is regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time and Paul has faced more famous people than professional fighters.
Now that Cordeiro trains with Tyson every day in the gym, he is one of those people who used to criticize Tyson.
I think there’s no need for us to worry about it. We are discussing a world champion who has won two titles, as Cordeiro stated on The MMA Hour. The guy knows how to fight; he didn’t have 20 fights in two years.
He has faced off against the world’s top fighters, Cordeiro went on. He knows what to do when he enters the ring. For Mike, this is nothing new, and the battle is no exception. He puts a lot of effort into trying to take Jake from start to finish each and every day. In July, he’s going to demonstrate that.
However, Paul has proven to have real striking power, raising serious concerns about Tyson’s health in the event that The Problem Child cleans the house.
Hughes stated in The Conversation that the brain tends to lose volume in older people. This increases the bridging veins’ length and increases their susceptibility to rupture.
Blood builds up in these ripped veins, pressing on the brain as a result of bleeding. Hughes continued, This results in disorientation, unconsciousness, neurological impairment, and, in certain situations, death.
Paul has switched from fighting like Anderson Silva and Nate Robinson to training boxers. Tommy Fury is a skilled boxer, and that is his only defeat.
Forty-four of Tyson’s 50 career victories were through knockout. Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. squared off in an eight-round exhibition bout in November 2020 that resulted in a draw.
Two months after Tyson’s first defeat against Evander Holyfield, which saw Iron Mike fall to 45-2 at the time, Paul was born.
