Mike Tyson takes on Jake Paul on November 15th.
They were originally due to meet this weekend but âIron Mikeâ 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: âThen let Mike get hurt. You donât have to worry about paying my bills.
âEveryone says this makes no sense, but heâs how old?
âHeâs not who I am. He canât go to Mongolia and have somebody know who the f*** he is.â
Wilder had told told Sportsbook Review, âI think itâs bad the commission has licensed Mike Tyson because he hasnât been active in 20 years, so they should not just licence him because of who he is, thatâs how people get hurt, god forbid he gets hurt,â he said.
âPeople can get hit in the wrong place and at the wrong time, thereâs lots of examples where guys have been hit into a coma.
âItâs easy to do. Heâs too old for this. At the end of the day, no one gives a f*** about Mike.
