Mike Tyson has taken a swipe at Deontay Wilder for negative comments made about his upcoming fight with Jake Paul. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ is one of many big names in the sport of boxing to take issue with the November bout at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. However, Wilder’s criticism appears to have genuinely bothered Tyson.

In comments made earlier this year, the 38-year-old claimed the heavyweight legend could “end up in a coma” as a result of taking a fight with a man 31 years his junior, while questioning whether anyone around Tyson “gave a f***” about him. Wilder reasoned: “I don’t think anyone cares about Mike, because if they did, they wouldn’t sanction the fight.

 

“They may say they’ve done tests and all that, okay, but as long as you’re willing to suffer the consequences if something bad goes wrong.” When Wilder’s words were put to Tyson in a recent interview with Esquire, the New York-born veteran launched an explosive rant in the direction of the former WBC Heavyweight Champion.
