Health concerns arise as Mike Tyson prepares to fight Jake Paul at 58

forbes.com

Mike Tyson, 58, is set to fight 27-year-old Jake Paul on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Texas. This match raises health concerns due to Tyson's age and long absence from competitive boxing, with his last professional fight occurring in 2005. Tyson's physical abilities, such as reflexes and stamina, may have declined with age. Studies indicate that peak physical performance typically decreases after the mid-30s, which could affect Tyson's endurance and reaction times during the fight. Despite these concerns, Tyson's extensive experience may help him fight strategically. He faces Paul, a YouTuber turned boxer, rather than a top heavyweight, which could influence the match's dynamics.
