‘Who the f*** is he?’ – Mike Tyson BLASTS Deontay Wilder in X-rated rant after Bronze Bomber reveals Jake Paul fears
MIKE TYSON has hit out at Deontay Wilder in an explosive rant after learning of the American’s concerns for his health.
Former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder, like many others, has expressed fears for Tyson ahead of his controversial clash with Jake Paul.
The Bronze Bomber claimed Paul could potentially put the boxing legend into a “COMA” in their Texas tussle.
Wilder’s comments have well and truly drawn the ire of Tyson, who told Esquire: “Everyone says this makes no sense, but he’s how old?”
“He’s not who I am. He can’t go to Mongolia and have somebody know who the f*** he is.”
Wilder can’t believe Tyson has been cleared to fight Paul, who will be 31 YEARS his junior on fight night, and reckons those around him don’t have his best interests at heart.
The 38-year-old said: “At the end of the day, no one gives a f*** about Mike.
“We can talk about the pros and cons, but at the end of the day, they don’t give a f***.
“I don’t think anyone cares about Mike, because if they did, they wouldn’t sanction the fight.
“They may say they’ve done tests and all that, okay, 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 at the ripe old age of 58 has been questioned by money.
But Tyson insists it’s his addiction to having his hand raised, not the big payday that will come from the Netflix bout, that’s led him to lace up his gloves again.
He admitted: “I’m a glory junkie. I love people thinking about me all day.
“I’d rather live a short life of glory than a long life of obscurity. It’s just who I am.
“This is all I started fighting for—to get all this f***ing status.
“I’m going to be chasing it for the rest of my life. I know that.
“I’m never going to get what I want, because I’m one of those gluttons for pain. I can never get enough.”
