Hulk Hogan has drastically changed his tune on Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson ahead of their professional boxing fight.
Paul vs. Tyson has been rescheduled for November 15 after the former world heavyweight champion suffered an ulcer flare-up on a flight.
‘The Problem Child’ still fought on the original date as he blasted out former UFC veteran and current Bare Knuckle FC star Mike Perry.
‘Iron’ Mike, meanwhile, returns to the pro setting for the first time since June 2005 when he succumbed to Ireland’s Kevin McBride.
He did, though, face fellow boxing great Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition bout back in November 2020.
But it’s not the inactivity that concerns Hogan, who admits he fears for Tyson’s safety in the ring with a much younger opponent.
The WWE legend also insists Paul is ‘super f**king strong’ as he made a ‘kill’ claim about the upcoming meeting.
“Your brother’s too strong, bro,” he told Logan Paul on the IMPAULSIVE podcast.
“He’s really, actually, super f**king strong,” Logan agreed. “The weight he pushes in the gym is impressive.”
Hogan replied: “Yeah. Last night, as soon as I saw him… I went, ‘Oh my god’. I mean, really. He was scary.
“I love Mike to death. I don’t want him to kill Mike, Jesus.”

Paul has won four matches in a row since losing to Tommy Fury last year.
He boasts wins over former UFC icon Nate Diaz, Andre August, Ryan Bourland and the aforementioned Perry.
The 27-year-old has been involved in several high-profile bouts but his showdown against Tyson is the biggest fight of his boxing career.
The 58-year-old, on the other hand, hasn’t fought in nearly four years but has showed off his legendary speed and power in recent training clips.
