Plush Atlas warns Jake Paul of Mike TysonIt’s a quick start.

Tyson (50-6, 44 KO) meets Paul (10-1, 7 KO) in a Netflix special event Friday at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The fight is scheduled for eight two-minute rounds.

The 58-year-old boxing legend vomited blood when he suffered from an ulcer in a medical emergency which caused her original booking with Paul to be moved from July to November. Atlas says if Tyson’s team gave the green light to compete, he’d like to think he’s healthy.

“Obviously he’s doing well, and that’s good,” Atlas said in an interview with Professional boxing fans. “It’s his choice, his family’s choice. He knows if he can come back. Obviously, it’s something he overcame physically. It wasn’t that bad. Obviously he is in good health.

“People around him think he is in good health. I have to believe he is in good health. He is 58 years old. There aren’t many guys who would step into the ring at 58, but this isn’t a normal professional fight. The circumstances are a little different.

Despite Tyson’s age and the question marks surrounding his current health, Atlas still believes his power could pose problems for Paul early on – although he expresses doubts about the legitimacy of this fight.

“I tell you one thing, right from the start, Jake better be careful in the first two rounds,” Atlas continued. “Because one thing a former great fighter like Tyson can do is still punch. Power is the last thing that leaves you. Power is the last thing that leaves you, and if Jake gets careless from the start, if it’s real.

“If there is no agreement in place. I don’t know, I don’t know. If it’s not pre-scripted, if it’s not pre-scripted for Netflix, and it’s real, and Tyson comes in shooting like he used to shoot, and he can do it for a few laps, it could be interesting.”
