"He might get beaten up." Ex-world champion made bold prediction for the Mike Tyson and Paul fight

Former world champion Amir Khan has predicted the outcome of the fight between legendary Mike Tyson and blogger Jake Paul. Khan believes that Iron Mike will secure an early knockout victory.

“The fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, wow, no one would have ever expected a fight like that fight to be made. Mike Tyson is a legend of the game and not someone who you want to mess about with, even though he’s older now and has been retired for a long time, he’s obviously done a few exhibitions. I just feel that he can really hurt Jake Paul. I just can’t believe what Jake Paul’s thinking. He’s fighting a heavyweight great and I think he can get hurt badly.

Is it just hype with Mike and Jake posting it at the same? This is unreal and I hope that Mike doesn’t end up hurting him because at the end of the day, I like Jake, but Mike is not a person you want to mess with or do an exhibition with, especially when you’re a lot smaller and lighter.

I don’t know how this is going to go. Is it really going to happen? It amazes me and I’m shocked. I’ve got Mike Tyson winning by knockout. Even though he’s in his fifties, he’s still a dangerous guy not to be messed with.” Khan said.

The bout between Tyson and Paul is scheduled for July 20 and is set to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, USA. The live broadcast of the grand event will be available on the streaming service Netflix.

It was previously reported that the fight could be sanctioned as a professional bout.
