MIKE TYSON attacked Deontay Wilder in an explosive speech after learning of the American’s concerns about his health.
Former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder, like many others, expressed fears for Tyson ahead of his controversial showdown with Jake Paul.
The Bronze Bomber claimed that Paul could potentially put the boxing legend in a “WITH THE” in their fight in Texas.
Wilder’s comments drew the ire of Tyson, who said Squire: “Everyone says this doesn’t make sense, but how old is he?”
“He is not who I am. He can’t go to Mongolia and let anyone know who he is.”
Wilder can’t believe Tyson has been cleared to fight Paul, who will be 31 YEARS his junior on fight night, and assesses that those around him don’t have his best interests in the heart.
The 38-year-old said: “At the end of the day, nobody gives a shit about Mike.
“We can talk about the pros and cons, but at the end of the day, they don’t give a shit.
“I don’t think anyone cares about Mike, because if they did, they wouldn’t sanction the fight.
“They can say they did tests and everything, that’s fine, but as long as you’re willing to suffer the consequences if something bad goes wrong.”

Tyson’s motivation for fighting YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, aged 58, was questioned by money.
But Tyson insists it was his addiction to having his hand raised, and not the big payday that will come from the Netflix fight, that prompted him to lace up his gloves again.
He admitted: “I’m a glory junkie. I love that people think about me all day.
“I would rather live a short life of glory than a long life of obscurity. It’s just who I am.
“That’s why I started fighting – to get all this damn status.
“I will pursue him for the rest of my life. I know that.
“I will never get what I want, because I am one of those gluttons for pain.
