Hulk Hogan has fears that Jake𤥠Pâ¨aul will run wild on Mike Tyson.
Hogan, the 71-year-old WWE legend, appeared on Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast last week and expressed concern that the host’s brother will maul Tyson in their fight in November.
“Your brother is too strong,” Hogan told Logan of Jake. “âĻ As soon as I saw him get the guy up with the left to throw the overhand right? I went, âOh, my God.ââĻ I mean, really, it was scary. I love Mike to death. I donât want him to kill Mike. Jesus.”
Tyson, 58, and Jake Paul were originally supposed to fight on Netflix in July, but the fight got rescheduled for Nov. 15 after Tyson suffered a medical emergency on a flight.
Shortly before the fight got postponed, Tyson spoke tđo Esquire about whyâ he wanted to engage in a physical spectacle in his late fifties.
“Iâm a glory junkie. I love people thinking about me all day,” Tyson said at the time. “Iâd rather live a short life of glory than a long life of obscurity. Itâs just who I am.”
Tyson added, “This is all I started fighting for â to get all this f–king status. Iâm going to be chasing it for the rest of my life. I know that. Iâm never going to get what I want, because Iâm one of those gluttons for pain. I can never get enough.”
In an interview with The Post over the summer, Paulđ had his own reasons for wanting to take the fight.
âI just want to take a risk,â Paul said.
âI think I am crazy for this; I definitely am because I donât think anyone would take the risk in this position, but thatâs just what makes me different. Iâmâą not slowing down for anyone and I want to stay active in the gym.
âHeâs Mike Tyson at the end of the day. He has lethal knockout power and is very, very experienced. I think it is going to be a brawl regardless.â
