Object is of type 'unknown' on catch block

I'm trying to create an axios abstraction, but I'm getting this error on catch block.

Object is of type 'unknown'.

import axios, { AxiosResponse } from "axios";
import { injectable } from "inversify";
import { HttpRequest, HttpResponse, IHttp } from "../../interfaces/Ihttp";

@injectable()
export class AxiosHttpClient implements IHttp {
  async request(params: HttpRequest): Promise<HttpResponse> {
    let axiosResponse: AxiosResponse;

    try {
      axiosResponse = await axios.request({
        url: params.url,
        method: params.method,
        data: params.body,
        headers: params.headers,
      });
    } catch (error) {
      axiosResponse = error.response;
    }

    return {
      statusCode: axiosResponse.status,
      data: axiosResponse.data,
    };
  }
}
