Hulk Hogan isn’t ruling out Mike Tyson in his forthcoming match against Jake Paul … noting the boxing legend still has a lot of fight left in him.
We got the WWE legend on “TMZ Live” Wednesday, where he shared his thoughts on Mike and Jake’s highly anticipated fight … which has been rescheduled for November following MT’s health scare last month.
As Hulk put it … the health incident on the plane was merely a minor setback, reminding viewers the legendary boxer is known as “Iron Mike Tyson” for a reason.
HH made it clear Mike and Jake’s 30-year age difference shouldn’t be a concern either … explaining that Mike has the “eye of a tiger.”
He continued … “When he gets focused, he will seek and destroy. I see that bad dog look in his eye now. It’s like when you don’t trust a bad dog, it might bite ya at any time. That’s the look he’s got. I remember that look from 25 years ago, it’s kind of scary.”
Still, Hulk has a relationship with both athletes, confessing Jake is feeling pretty confident about the planned face-off.
He added … “I’m excited about it. I’m kind of glad it’s rescheduled because I don’t want any excuses. I want both men at 100% … and I’ve got a feeling this is gonna be the fight of the century, brothers. This is gonna be a good one.”
While Hulk, at least publicly, is straddling the fence on who he’s rooting for, he knows what he’ll be drinking when the match goes down in November — his new brew called Real American Beer.
Hulk told us he saw an opening for a new beer brand last year, after Bud Light’s boycott drama.
As for the beer’s name — well, he’s got a pretty lofty mission to unify our deeply divided country “one beer at a time.”
Cheers to that!!!
