Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson: UFC star Colby Covington explains dangers for Tyson in huge fight

A huge fight is scheduled for July 20 when Jake Paul takes on boxing legend Mike Tyson in Dallas. 

This is a contest which has generated significant interest since it was announced, but there are some concerns. 

With Tyson being 58-years-old come the first bell at AT&T Stadium, fans and fighters such as the UFC's Colby Covington are worried the boxing legend could emerge from the clash with some serious damage to his health. 

“I don’t like it at all,” Covington said on Soscast when discussing Paul vs. Tyson. 

“Mike still looks like a superhuman but he’s still 57 years old. He shouldn’t be fighting anymore.

"I don’t think it’s safe. I think it’s dangerous at that age. Your heart might explode. He gets hit in the head, he might have a brain bleed. I hope Mike Tyson makes it through injury-free and doesn’t get hurt."

This fight with Paul will be Tyson's first professional bout since 2005 when he retired in the corner against Kevin McBride.
