Tyson will be 58 when he steps foot in the ring with the YouTuber-turned-boxer and many have criticised the decision to still go ahead with the contest
Boxing star Arslanbek Makhmudov has warned Mike Tyson about his health ahead of his showdown with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul next month.
The clash between the two stars is scheduled to take place on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, in front of up to 90,000 fans, with the purse believed to be in the region of £30.6million. Many people have criticised the decision to go ahead with the contest especially after Tyson was forced to pull out of the original date back in July after suffering an ulcer flare up. Another man who has slammed the fight is Makhmudov. The Russian is a heavyweight boxer himself, with a professional record of 19-2, and knows what it's like to get hit by the big boys.
The 35-year-old was then asked whether he believes boxers can compete at the age of 58, with Makhmudov responding: “Of course, I believe that people should train no matter what their age is. It would be best if you stayed healthy. But there’s a difference between training and competing in professional boxing.
