Oscar De La Hoya thinks Mike Tyson could be in trouble if his fight with Jake Paul goes past the halfway point.
It was announced earlier this week that the huge event will be a professional fight meaning that Tyson will be competing professionally for the first time in nearly two decades.
Despite having plenty more experience than Paul and incredible qualities at his peak, the former heavyweight champion is approaching 60 years of age.
Paul’s youth and fitness is certain to be a factor if he avoids getting caught early and De La Hoya has admitted to having concerns about the fight going long.
“Where I’m concerned is when the fight goes – let’s say over four rounds and conditioning starts to kick in,” said the former six weight world champion when speaking to Sportsnaut.
"The age starts to kick in for Mike Tyson. Jake Paul is like 27 or 28 years old. He’s young. He’s strong. He’s going to come at him with everything. So that’s my only concern.”
