Former Boxing Star Steve Ward Warns Mike Tyson About Fight with Jake Paul and Possibility of ‘Something Nasty’ in Background

Former boxing star Steve Ward has issued a warning to Mike Tyson ahead of his upcoming fight with Jake Paul, cautioning the legendary boxer about the possibility of ‘something nasty going off in the background’. Tyson and Paul recently confirmed their fight, despite a significant 30-year age gap between the two fighters.

While some prominent figures in the boxing world, such as Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, have defended the matchup, others like Eddie Hearn and Ricky Hatton have been critical of the event. Ward, who fought until the age of 64, understands the pressure and expectations that Tyson is facing as he prepares for the fight.

In an interview with talkSPORT, Ward expressed his concerns about Tyson potentially being restricted by rules and regulations that could impact his performance and tarnish his legacy. He emphasized the importance of Tyson giving his all in the ring and not holding back, as it could reflect poorly on him if he does not perform to his full potential.

Ward also highlighted the grueling training regimen that Tyson will have to endure in the lead-up to the fight, describing it as ‘agony’. He stressed the dedication and commitment required to excel in the sport of boxing, noting that Tyson must be fully prepared both mentally and physically for the challenge ahead.

As Tyson gears up for his first fight in four years, Ward expressed his hope that the former champion will be able to reach peak performance and secure a victory against Paul. Despite the age gap between the two fighters, Ward believes that Tyson has the skill and determination to come out on top in the highly anticipated matchup.
