Heavyweight legend Tyson will take on YouTube sensation Paul this summer despite the fact he will be 58 when he walks to the ring
Mike Tyson has again been warned he risks suffering brain damage when he takes on Jake Paul this summer.
Tyson has previously been warned he could suffer brain damage in the fight and now, Nathan Howarth, Development and Operations Director at the Concussion Legacy Foundation UK, has echoed those comments. "Boxing has an inherent risk of concussion and then there’s an increased risk of traumatic brain injury we have seen like bleeds on the brain," he told Betway.
"We know your exposure to head impacts increases your risk of things like chronic traumatic encephalopathy. The first reported cases from boxing are from the 1930s and we still see that in terms of boxing’s risk to CTE and it’s no secret that there is an element of neurodegeneration. There’s no definitive of what the risks would be but as someone who is 57, there’s clearly going to be a risk in terms of that age profile of potentially having more of an impact for someone who’s older.
