WWE legend Hulk Hogan has some thoughts on the upcoming Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight. Hogan fears for the safety of ‘Iron’ Mike against ‘The Problem Child.’

Hulk Hogan on Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul

Mike Tyson is a veteran boxer and all-time heavyweight great. He has been inactive for the past 20 years in boxing aside from an exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr just a few years ago. Despite being a powerhouse in his youth, he is now nearly 60 years old.

Jake Paul is a YouTuber turned-boxer who has made a name for himself by defeating former UFC fighters in the ring including Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, and others. His boxing fights always draw blockbuster numbers. He is set to fight the boxing legend Tyson on November 15 on Netflix.

Hulk Hogan, speaking to Jake’s brother, Logan Paul, explained his concerns about Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul. He said:

“Your brother’s too strong, bro. He’s strong. Last night, as soon as I saw him set the guy up with the left, he kept throwing the overhand right, I was like, ‘Oh my God, he’s going to kill somebody.’ No, I mean really. It was scary. I love Mike to death; I don’t want him to kill Mike, Jesus” [Ht Middleeasy]

A sparring partner of Mike Tyson, interestingly enough, said the exact opposite. In the upcoming Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight, he fears for Paul’s safety. He explained:

“For me, it’s going to be a glorified sparring session. When Mike boxed Roy Jones Jr he hit Roy with a body shot and sunk him – and Mike knew he could hurt Roy Jones. Anybody that Mike hits is going to hurt, probably knockout as well but he carried Roy Jones.“

Jake Paul Shares Francis Ngannou’s Warning: Mike Tyson is Going to Knock Me Out

Francis Ngannou thinks it’s gonna be a bad night for Jake Paul when he steps inside the squared circle for a scrap with legendary pugilist Mike Tyson.

Emanating from the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Paul vs. Tyson is scheduled to go down on Friday, November 15, and will be the former unified heavyweight champion’s first professional boxing match in nearly two decades.

From the moment the fight was first announced, their pairing was heavily scrutinized with fans and pundits voicing concern over the 31-year age gap between the two combatants.

Paul, who has all the benefits of youth on his side, is a greater than 2-to-1 favorite to come out on top in The Lone Star State. However, not everyone is willing to count out the 58-year-old icon. During a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Paul revealed that former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou told him point blank that ‘Iron’ is going to knock him out.

“Mike is big and beefy, and thick and strong. Francis actually said that he thinks Mike is going to knock me out, which is funny,” Paul said. “But I do have to be careful in the early rounds because Mike has that crazy, crazy punching power” (h/t BJPenn.com).

Jake Paul is ready to go to war with mike tyson

With the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation sanctioning the bout as a pro fight, Paul knows that the danger of stepping inside the ring with the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ is very real.

“100 percent, man,” Paul continued. “A pro-fight means war and I don’t take it lightly. You can get seriously hurt or injured in there. If you are not in there to go to war then you should get out,” Paul added.

Thus far, Jake Paul is 10-1 in his boxing career with seven of his victories coming by way of knockout. His lone loss came against Tommy Fury in February 2023 when ‘The Problem Child’ found himself on the wrong side of a split decision. Since then, he has bested four straight opponents, including ex-UFC star Nate Diaz and BKFC brawler ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry.

Tyson, on the other hand, has been out of competition since a June 11, 2005 scrap with Kevin McBride, though Tyson did return to the ring in 2020 for a charity exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr. that went to an eight-round draw.

Mike Tyson And the Benefits of CBD – Mental Health and Pain Management

Heavyweight boxing great Mike Tyson swears by the benefits of using CBD. According to ‘Iron’ Mike, CBD has massively helped him get off opioids, assisted with his mental health, and managed the chronic in his body. Additionally, many athletes proclaim the benefits that go beyond pain management.

Mike Tyson And the Benefits of CBD

Mike Tyson has become a significant advocate for the use of CBD and cannabis. He discusses their benefits based on his personal experiences. Tyson has spoken openly about how these products have positively impacted his life, particularly in managing pain resulting from his legendary boxing career.

The heavyweight great credits CBD with helping him reduce his reliance on opioids, which he previously used for pain management. Also, he has noted improvements in his mental health and overall well-being, attributing a new sense of peace to his switch from alcohol to marijuana.

The boxer explains:

“I’ve been fighting for over 20 years, and my body has a lot of wear and tear. I had two surgeries and I used marijuana to calm my nerves, and it would take the pain away … But before, they had me on those opiates, and those opiates had me all screwed up … I thought about how much good I could do by helping people with cannabis. It was a no brainer“

Tyson is also a vocal advocate for the use of CBD and cannabis, particularly in the context of sports. He promotes these products for their potential to assist athletes with pain management and recovery, and he supports the idea of cannabis use in sports to enhance performance. Tyson believes that CBD can help individuals move away from opioid addiction and even supports research into how cannabis can aid veterans returning from deployment.

According to Mike Tyson, CBD, and cannabis offer numerous benefits, including pain relief and management, improved sleep quality, stress and anxiety reduction, enhanced mental clarity and focus, and potential assistance in treating conditions such as arthritis.

Benefits of CBD in Athletes

Mike Tyson uses CBD for issues such as anxiety and pain management, but many athletes use the same product for different benefits. Research suggests that CBD may offer anti-inflammatory effects, helping to manage inflammation and oxidative stress resulting from intense exercise, which could contribute to faster recovery and reduced muscle soreness.

Additionally, CBD’s analgesic properties may help alleviate pain and soreness associated with rigorous training and competition. Athletes might also benefit from CBD’s potential to improve sleep quality and regulate sleep patterns.

Mike Tyson swears by its benefits and will be using CBD to aid in his fight against Jake Paul later this year.

Tyson Fury Defends Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul Clash: ‘S**t ton of money’

While most have been critical of Jake Paul’s upcoming boxing bout with Mike Tyson, former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson…

While most have been critical of Jake Paul’s upcoming boxing bout with Mike Tyson, former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury thinks it’ll be fantastic for the sport.

On Friday, November 15, Paul will make his 12th walk to the squared circle for a scrap with the 58-year-old icon inside the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

From the moment the fight was announced, pundits and fans have been heavily critical of the pairing, much of it due to the massive 31-year age gap between ‘Iron’ and ‘The Problem Child.’ However, Fury sees things differently. Speaking with The Stomping Ground, ‘The Gypsy King’ thinks boxing will benefit from having two generational superstars with millions of followers going toe-to-toe.

Not to mention, the massive amount of money both will likely walk away with once it’s all said and done.

“I think it’s fantastic for boxing,” Fury said. You’ve got a legend in Mike Tyson, you’ve got a YouTube boxer who’s come into the game and blew it up with millions of followers and millions of views. Good, bad or indifferent, some people love him, some people hate him.

“I think it’s a really good spectacle for boxing, it brings a lot of people to the game. Who am I to say Mike Tyson shouldn’t be boxing or Jake Paul shouldn’t be boxing? Good luck to them, they’re both gonna make what I call a sh*t ton of money out of it” (h/t SecondsOut.com).

‘The Gypsy King’ isn’t ready to count out mike tyson just yet

As for how he sees things playing out, Fury thinks it’s crazy to count out the power and experience of the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet,’ even if Mike Tyson hasn’t competed in a professional boxing match in nearly two decades.

“Okay the guy’s 57-years-old, but he’s former undisputed world heavyweight king and one guy who plays computers for a living who’s come into boxing about a year ago – so pretty even match … You’ve got to admire them both and I wish them both the best of luck. I seen Mike’s training hard on his videos, and Jake Paul’s always in shape. People say it’s sh*t but I bet they still watch it.”

Currently, Tyson is sitting as a +180 underdog while Paul is a greater than 2-to-1 favorite at -240.

When Ric Flair Tried to Out-Smoke Mike Tyson: “I didn’t even know where I was”

WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair once made the mistake of trying to out-smoke ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson.

After establishing themselves as two of the absolute best in their respective fields, Tyson and Flair took a similar path in their twilight years, choosing to promote their own lines of cannabis-based products appropriately named Tyson 2.0 and Ric Flair Drip.

Tyson and the “stylin’, profilin’, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ n’ dealin’ son of a gun” have acted as spokesmen for their brands over the years while often teaming up to support the decriminalization of marijuana and to discuss how cannabis has helped them in various aspects of their life.

Recently, Tyson appeared via video call at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference in Hollywood alongside the legendary wrestler. During their time together, Tyson and Flair shared anecdotes about their use of marijuana which eventually led to a debate over who could smoke more between the two.

Hilariously, Flair quickly declared Tyson the winner while revealing that the two had engaged in a friendly contest some time back that didn’t exactly go his way.

“I said ‘You know what, Mike, I’m going to show you that I can smoke as much as you.’ At four o’clock in the morning, I didn’t even know where I was,” Flair said. “Literally, he puts Ric Flair to bed with his cannabis” (h/t Marca).

Mike Tyson returns to the ring on November 15

While the 75-year-old Flair has put his professional wrestling career to bed (we hope), Mike Tyson is preparing for a return to the boxing ring for his first professional bout in nearly two decades.

On Friday, November 15, ‘Iron’ will lace up the gloves inside the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas for a clash with ‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul.

The fight will air on Netflix, making it the first live combat sports broadcast for the streaming giant since the subscription-based service went live on January 16, 2007.

Paul, who will be 31 years younger than Tyson come fight night, carries with him a 10-1 record including seven wins by way of knockout. His only loss came against Tommy Fury via split decision in February 2023. Tyson’s last pro fight was on June 11, 2005, against Kevin McBride. Shortly after, Tyson hung up his gloves for good.

‘Iron’ went 50-6 with 44 KOs and 2 no-contests over the course of his 20-year career.
