Jake Paul branded a 'bit of a d***' as ominous Mike Tyson prediction made by legendary boxing insider

Ricky Hatton has branded Jake Paul a 'd***' as he opened up on his upcoming fight with Mike Tyson.

The Problem Child will take to the ring with the 58-year-old on November 15 after the originally scheduled July 20 bout was postponed. They will face off at the AT&T stadium in Texas, which has a capacity of 80,000 fans. The professional fight has a number of conditions with Tyson's last pro bout coming back in 2005 - nearly 20 years ago!

Speaking to Action Network, Hatton delivered his views on the trash talking from the YouTuber as he also gave his verdict on how the fight between the two men will go.

On the fight itself, Hatton added: "I fought Marco Antonio Barrera for eight, two-minute rounds but mine was an exhibition but I believe this is a proper fight. I think if Mike hits him, he’ll knock him into the middle of next week.
