FANS voiced concern for boxing legend Butterbean after he made a return to the wrestling ring.
The American – real name Eric Esch – became a star in the 1990s and early 2000s thanks to his knockout power and 26 STONE frame.

And he also ventured into kickboxing, MMA and professional wrestling – even having a stint in the WWE.
Butterbean’s last fight was in 2013, a boxing bout he lost to Kirk Lawton in Australia.
But in retirement, Butterbean has dramatically transformed his body and lost an incredible 16 stone with the help of wrestler Diamond Dallas Page.
And Butterbean actually returned to the wrestling ring for a match against Minoru Suzuki in Las Vegas.
But at 58, fans had fear for Butterbean as one said: “What the hell is going on.”
Another added: In the immortal words of Johnny Knoxville: “Is Butterbean ok?”
But one argued: “Look, I don’t even care if the match was any good.
“Just being able to see Butterbean be able to move around and do something is pretty great.”
Another said: “People can s*** on the match, and rightfully so.
“But it’s great to see Butterbean being able to at least do something and move around.”
Butterbean has called out YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and Mike Tyson after his weight loss.
The famed puncher used yoga and dietary changes to go from wheelchair bound to wrestling again.
