I fought Mike Tyson and Jake Paul stands no chance of beating him

Mike Tyson has been tipped to make light work of YouTuber turned boxer, Jake Paul, ahead of their upcoming Netflix bout later this month.

The pair will take to the ring at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Nov 15, and Tyson's former opponent Peter McNeeley says the age gap won't count for much when standing opposite one another. Tyson has not set foot in the ring professionally for nearly two decades.

In 1995, fresh from a three-year stint in prison, Tyson took on Peter "The Hurricane" McNeeley in a heavyweight fight dubbed 'he's back.' In a reveal all interview with the Mirror US Sports, McNeeley, who is still active in the sport teaching youngsters the sport in his local gym, feels Tyson is "looking tough" and in "great shape" heading into the bout.

The 56-year-old revealed he'd received proposals himself regarding a potential return to the ring in an exhibition fight. Speaking ahead of Tyson vs Paul, McNeeley said: "The way I see it Mike is going to hurt this kid. I have seen the videos of him training and he looks real sharp. The kid better watch out.

"Jake Paul has never fought a real professional or someone of Mike's calibre. I remember what it was like being hit by him and just because you get older doesn't mean you lose that power.

"My prediction? Mike wins. He might just knock him out. I have no doubt he has the power." When questioned if Paul, 27, who is 31-years younger than Tyson, stood a chance, McNeeley simply said: "Nah."

There has been concerns leading up to the fight, after the original bout in the summer had to be postponed due to Tyson's health
