Legendary boxer Mike Tyson was reportedly knocked out during a sparring session as he prepares for his rumored fight against Jake Paul. UFC commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan is now voicing his concerns about the 58-year-old Tyson’s ability to handle the pressures of such a high-profile bout.
Rogan, known for his deep insights into both boxing and mixed martial arts, discussed the incident on his podcast, expressing serious reservations. “Mike Tyson is a warrior, but he’s not in his prime anymore,” Rogan stated. “To hear that he got knocked out in sparring is concerning. At his age, the body just doesn’t recover the way it used to.”
The news of Tyson’s knockout has fueled debate among fans and experts about whether the fight with Jake Paul should even take place. Despite Tyson’s storied career and iconic knockouts, Rogan points out the risks of stepping back into the ring at his age, especially against a much younger opponent like Paul, who has shown promise in his recent boxing matches.
“Jake Paul is young, hungry, and in his prime,” Rogan added. “This isn’t just a cash grab for him. He’s been training hard, and if Mike isn’t careful, he could end up getting seriously hurt.”
As fans eagerly wait for an official announcement on the Tyson vs. Paul fight, Rogan’s words serve as a reminder of the dangers involved when an aging legend like Tyson faces a physically dominant opponent in a combat sport. Will this latest incident put the fight in jeopardy? Only time will tell.
