Deontay Wilder is worried about about Mike Tyson’s shock comeback.
‘Iron Mike’ returns to the ring in a professionally sanctioned contest against Jake Paul on July 20th.
The bout has been heavily criticised due to the fact the pair have a huge 30 year age gap and Tyson’s recent health concerns.
Former WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder has shared his assessment on the clash and he is clearly unhappy that the fight is taking place.

Speaking to Sportsbook Review he said: “I think it’s bad the commission has licensed Mike Tyson because he hasn’t been active in 20 years.
“They should not just license him because of who he is, that’s how people get hurt, god forbid he gets hurt.
“People can get hit in the wrong place and at the wrong time, there’s lots of examples where guys have been hit into a coma. It’s easy to do. He’s too old for this.
“At the end of the day, no one gives a f*** about Mike. We can talk about the pros and cons, but at the end of the day, they don’t give a f***. I don’t think anyone cares about Mike because if they did, they wouldn’t sanction the fight.
“They may say they’ve done tests and all that, ok, but as long as you’re willing to suffer the consequences if something bad goes wrong.”
He continued: “His power may not have left completely but you still need to set it up, your stamina needs to be a certain way, or it’s going to look like a clown show.
“I don’t want to see it to be honest. I don’t want to see one of my legends fight a YouTuber.
“If he goes in there and he knocks Mike out, that’s going to tarnish the reputation of Mike. I don’t want the last thing I remember of him is him getting knocked out by a YouTuber.
“The last thing you do, that’s what people remember you by.”
