Oscar De La Hoya planned a return to the ring a few years ago, and now he's worried about Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) having an official, sanctioned fight at age 58. Ironman's opponent on July 20 in Arlington will be Jake Paul (9-1, 6 KOs).

Is the end of his sixth decade of life a good time to return to the ring? "Golden Boy," a former world champion in six weight classes, from super welterweight to middleweight, has serious doubts about that.

"I love Mike and will be praying for him. Jake Paul is already a serious fighter and it's going to be a dangerous fight for Mike. So he has to be careful," De La Hoya stated. - Even in the event of a loss at the age of 58, Tyson's legacy will remain safe. He has cemented that in the past and he will always be a legend."
