Mike Tyson\u2019s trainer addresses brain damage concerns ahead of Jake Paul fight Associated PressMike Tyson\u2019s trainer, Rafael Cordeiro, has dismissed fears concerning the boxing legend\u2019s health ahead of his fight with Jake Paul. Tyson, 57, will go head-to-head with Paul on July, 20. The fight will be streamed live on Netflix, taking place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL\u2018s Dallas Cowboys. Tyson is coming out of retirement for the fight and was recently warned by a doctor that he risks suffering from brain damage if he steps back into the ring. Yet Cordeiro has now downplayed any concerns regarding the bout being irresponsible, insisting that Tyson is already in amazing shape. Mike Tyson brain damage fears vs Jake Paul dismissed \u201cI believe we don\u2019t have to be concerned about it. We\u2019re talking about a two-time world champion,\u201d he told The MMA Hour. \u201cThe guy didn\u2019t have 20 fights in two years, he knows how to fight. He\u2019s fought against the best guys in the world. When he steps inside the ring he knows what to do. It\u2019s not something new for Mike, and this fight is no different.\u201d Turning his attention to the fight itself, Cordeiro has no doubt in his mind over what the outcome will be. \u201cHe works hard every single day to go in there and try to knock Jake out from the beginning to the end,\u201d he added. \u201cThis is his style, nobody has [to] teach Mike Tyson how to fight. He\u2019s going to prove that in July. You can see fire in his eyes when he trains, and he will never give less than that. I truly believe it is going to be a great show. \u201cMike is going to step into the ring as the old Mike Tyson, and he\u2019s going to try and knock out Jake from the beginning to the end.\u201d Addressing any concerns that fans may have about the 57-year-old\u2019s fitness, Cordeiro believes that supporters will be in for a treat when Tyson enters the ring. \u201cHe\u2019s already in shape and we\u2019ve started doing rounds. It\u2019s amazing to see him hitting mitts, Mike is a monster. I can guarantee Mike will touch Jake and lets see how Jake reacts to that. \u201cWith all due respect, he\u2019s a good kid\u2026 but he hasn\u2019t faced anyone who is a legend in the sport. We are talking about one of the most popular people in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
