Mike Tyson takes on Jake Paul on November 15th.
They were originally due to meet this weekend but ‘Iron Mike’ suffered an ulcer flare-up that meant the bout had to be rescheduled and moved to November.
With Tyson being 58 and Paul 27 many have criticised the fight including former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.
He had claimed that Tyson was too old to take on the younger fighters and now the former undisputed heavyweight champion has hit back.

Speaking to Esquire he replied: “Then let Mike get hurt. You don’t have to worry about paying my bills.
“Everyone says this makes no sense, but he’s how old?
“He’s not who I am. He can’t go to Mongolia and have somebody know who the f*** he is.”
Wilder had told told Sportsbook Review, “I think it’s bad the commission has licensed Mike Tyson because he hasn’t been active in 20 years, so they should not just licence him because of who he is, that’s how people get hurt, god forbid he gets hurt,” he said.
“People can get hit in the wrong place and at the wrong time, there’s lots of examples where guys have been hit into a coma.
“It’s easy to do. He’s too old for this. At the end of the day, no one gives a f*** about Mike.
