A neurology professor warns that 58-year-old Mike Tyson is at high risk for suffering a ‘traumatic brain injury’ in his boxing match against Jake Paul
Mike Tyson, Nakisa Bidarian, and Jake Paul at the press conference for 'LIVE on Netflix: Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson' on November 13, 2024 in Dallas.
When Mike Tyson, 58, steps into the ring with Jake Paul, 27, on Friday, November 15, in a fight that will stream live on Netflix, the boxing legend is putting himself at great risk for long-term damage, according to Dr. Nitin K Sethi, clinical associate professor of neurology at Weill Cornell Medical College.
Sethi added, “The second thing I worry about is, this is a fighter who has had many, many years of professional boxing under his or her belt. You worry about the chronic neurological injuries.”Many boxing commissions list fighters over the age of 40 as “high risk” combatants, which Sethi helped explain.
He added, “You can look at it both ways. One is what is the propensity that they will get hurt. And then it’s even if they suffer the injury, is it the fact that age itself is detrimental in the healing process?”
