“Age shouldn’t be a barrier to peak performance, with stamina and endurance”
says Prof. Mike Chan, shedding light on how regenerative medicine is redefining athletic potential.
Mike Tyson’s recent fight against Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Nov 15, 2024, reignited global discussions on the effects of aging in sports.
Prof. Mike Chan, a leading authority in regenerative medicine and founder of European Wellness Biomedical Group (EWBG), provided a compelling analysis of the bout, highlighting how age-related decline in key organs—such as the heart, lungs, and adrenal glands—impacts athletic stamina, endurance, and balance.
“The Tyson-Paul fight demonstrated how systemic aging, rather than physical preparation, often dictates outcomes,” said Prof. Mike Chan. Despite flashes of Tyson’s legendary power in the first round, his pace slowed by the second, and his balance faltered by the fourth. Prof. Chan attributed this to the physiological effects of aging on vital systems, including the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, which are critical for coordination and reaction times.
Prof. Chan believes advancements in regenerative medicine could transform athletic performance. “By reversing the biological age of key organs like the heart, lungs, and adrenal glands, we could significantly enhance stamina, endurance, and overall performance,” he explained.
Through targeted treatments offered at EWBG, Prof. Chan envisions a future where aging athletes like Tyson can extend their careers and defy age-related limitations. “Even a reversal of six to 10 years in biological age could make a world of difference,” he stated.

Redefining Aging in Sports
The fight marks a turning point for sports medicine, showcasing the potential of regenerative therapies to not only prolong athletic careers but to redefine what aging means for elite competitors. “This isn’t just about extending careers; it’s about breaking the barriers imposed by aging,” Prof. Chan emphasized.
As regenerative treatments become more accessible, Prof. Chan predicts a shift in sports, where biological age becomes irrelevant, and peak performance becomes the standard, regardless of years.
Tyson’s loss serves as both a reflection of aging’s challenges and a case study in the power of innovation to rewrite the rules of athletic potential. “The Tyson-Paul fight represents the start of a conversation, not just the end of a match,” Prof. Chan concluded.
