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.
