Mike Tyson may be taking too much of a risk by facing Jake Paul, according to UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall.
Tyson and Paul will fight this summer in what will be one of the highest-profile events of the year, with Paul coming off the back of a win against Ryan Bourland, and Tyson approaching 60.
There have been some concerns for both fighters, with former world champion Tyson looking like he has retained much of his fearsome punching power, and Paul three decades younger than the veteran.
Speaking to OLBG, Aspinall warned that Tyson is taking on too much after his career.
He said: “Training for a fight gives you so much discipline and health and confidence and all that good stuff, so if Mike Tyson's training that's fantastic because he obviously is getting up there in age, but he still looks great.
“But as far as getting punched in the head after all the getting punched in the head he's done over the years, I'd rather not see it I guess.
“It's meant to be entertainment I guess, but it's not my scene.
“Some people love tennis, that's everything to them.
“For me, very little interest in tennis and it's the same for this. I'm sure people will watch but I don't enjoy this stuff.”
