And the 13-time WWE champion – speaking with Paul’s brother Logan – raised deep concerns for close friend Tyson. Hogan, 71, said: “Your brother’s too strong, bro. He’s strong. “Last night, as soon as I saw him set the guy up with the left, he kept throwing the overhand right, I was like, ‘Oh my God, he’s going to kill somebody.READ MORE IN BOXING”No, I mean really.

But Tyson has since insisted he is medically fit to fight in what will be Netflix’s first foray into live boxing. This is not the first time Hogan has harboured fear for Tyson and even pulled Paul up on it. Hogan told TMZ: “I’m friends with both guys. “I love Mike to death, but I was in Miami for the Formula 1 races with Jake Paul, I pulled Jake aside and said, ‘Hey brother, what’s up with this thing?’ Is this a work like wrestling, or are you guys going to really go at it?
