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

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. “When you talk about fighters who are now above the age of 40, you worry about two things,” Sethi, who also works as a ringside physician, told CNN in a story published on Thursday, November 14. Netflix’s documentary anthology series Untold returned on Tuesday, August 1, with an episode following Jake Paul’s rise to fame on YouTube and in the boxing world.
