Mike Tyson returns to professional boxing 19 years after his last bout. There are neurological concerns for the 58-year-old

CNN  

CNN — Mike Tyson steps into the ring. “That’s why when you talk about chronic neurological injuries in boxing, I personally feel that that’s the bigger problem.” Tyson burst onto the boxing scene in 1985 as an 18-year-old. For example, the New York State Athletic Commission’s medical standards manual lists numerous factors which can categorize boxers as “high-risk combatants” such as if they are over the age of 40 and have had over a year of inactivity after the start of their professional career, amongst others. The TDLR told CNN that the test results “must be favorable in order for to be approved to compete.” The TDLR told CNN that it had approved a professional bout between Tyson and Paul with certain waivers, meaning the fight will last for eight rounds, with two minutes for each round and both boxers wearing 14-ounce gloves. Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP “A lot of change in boxing has to come from the boxers themselves, their families, the retired boxers, they have to say: ‘Make the sport safer for us,’” he said.
