Wilder said, “I think it’s bad the commission has licensed Mike because he hasn’t been active in 20 years. God forbid he gets hurt.”
“There’s lots of examples where guys have been hit into a coma. He’s too old for this. At the end of the day, no one gives a f*** about Mike. Because if they did, they wouldn’t sanction the fight,” he added.
For those unable to splurge on the extravagant $2 million package, ticket prices start at $357, offering varying levels of access to witness the highly anticipated showdown. However, the steep price tag hasn’t deterred fans from eagerly securing their seats to witness history unfold.
Despite the excitement surrounding the event, not everyone is convinced of its merits. Former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder expressed skepticism over the sanctioning of the bout, particularly concerning Mike Tyson’s return to professional boxing after a 20-year hiatus.
Wilder voiced concerns about Tyson’s age and inactivity, warning of the potential dangers involved in his participation. “He’s too old for this,” Wilder asserted, highlighting the risks associated with Tyson stepping back into the ring at 57 years old.
With the fight set to be an 8-round affair, lasting two minutes each, questions loom over Tyson’s ability to endure the grueling contest. As the countdown to July 20 begins, fans eagerly await answers to these pressing questions, eager to witness a spectacle unlike any other in boxing history.
