Jake Paul urged to wear headguard vs Mike Tyson over fears of serious injury Associated Press\/YouTube: BS w\/ Jake PaulJake Paul has been urged to wear a headguard when he steps into the ring with Mike Tyson in July over the fear that \u201cone punch\u201d from \u2018Iron Mike\u2019 could have major consequences for the \u2018Problem Child\u2019. Paul and his camp have strenuously denied that he and Tyson will be wearing headguards when they go toe-to-toe in Netflix\u2019s first-ever live boxing stream. But Derek Chisora \u2014 who has fought the likes of Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk and Vitali Klitschko \u2014 believes that Paul would be foolish not to wear head protection when he comes up against Tyson. \u201cEven if there is a lion, which is 100 years old and he\u2019s crippled and he\u2019s in the same room as you, what are you going to do?\u201d Chisora told Crypto Casino LTD. \u201cMy point is: It doesn\u2019t matter if Mike Tyson is 85 years old, he\u2019s still \u2018Iron Mike\u2019, it only takes one punch connecting in the right way.\u201d The former world heavyweight contender went on to admit that even if Paul did wear a headguard, he can see the YouTuber-turned-boxer taking off the gear as he enters the ring. \u201cThey\u2019re going to have headguards and 16-ounce gloves, I predicted it when they announced it,\u201d Chisora added. \u201cThey are going to have headguards and gloves, but who knows, it might change. Jake Paul is a nutter, so he might walk to the ring with the head guard and then change his mind.\u201d Paul\u2019s fight with Tyson has divided opinion in the boxing world. Fury has insisted that the bout is \u201cfantastic for boxing,\u201d while Anthony Joshua\u2019s promoter, Eddie Hearn, dubbed it a \u201cfreak show.\u201d Some of the biggest concerns surrounding the fight are over the 30-year age gap between the pair, with fears touted by some that Tyson could potentially suffer major injuries during the bout. But Tyson\u2019s trainer, Rafael Cordeiro, has dismissed fears concerning the boxing legend\u2019s health, insisting that the 57-year-old is in great shape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
