Deontay Wilder concerned for Mike Tyson in Jake Paul fight: ‘God forbid he gets hurt’

Deontay Wilder knows a thing or two about knockouts, and the last thing he wants to see is Mike Tyson on the receiving end of one.

Tyson, a retired heavyweight boxing legend, makes his return to pro competition on June 20 when he fights social media influencer turned boxing star Jake Paul in Arlington, Texas. When fight night comes around, it will mark more than 20 years since Tyson’s most recent pro bout, and be just 10 days shy of Tyson’s 58th birthday.
