Teddy Atlas helped train Mike Tyson when he was a youngster.
The former baddest man on the planet returns to the ring to take on Jake Paul on November 15th.
The fight was originally scheduled for July 20th but had to be moved due to Tyson’s ulcer-flare up.
Many in the sport are concerned with a 58-year-old Tyson returning to the sport against an opponent over 30 years his junior.
And Teddy Atlas believes the age difference will play a huge factor on the outcome of the fight, but that Tyson could cause problems early on in their encounter.

“The first couple minutes could be a little risky for Paul against a guy who was the youngest heavyweight champ and a guy with one of the greatest combinations of speed and power in the history of the heavyweight division,” said Atlas when speaking to Seconds Out.
“For one or two rounds, could it be a little hairy? Yeah. If he don’t catch him, or he don’t hurt him, then the gas tank starts to putter, if that happens, then the young man would have the advantage. Even a young man who’s far less accomplished in the game.”
