Francis Ngannou thinks it’s gonna be a foul evening for Jake Paul when he steps contained in the squared circle for a scrap with legendary pugilist Mike Tyson.
Emanating from the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Paul vs. Tyson is scheduled to go down on Friday, November 15, and would be the former unified heavyweight champion’s first skilled boxing match in almost twenty years.
From the second the battle was first introduced, their pairing was closely scrutinized with followers and pundits voicing concern over the 31-year age hole between the 2 combatants.
Paul, who has all the advantages of youth on his aspect, is a larger than 2-to-1 favourite to return out on prime in The Lone Star State. Nevertheless, not everyone seems to be keen to depend out the 58-year-old icon. Throughout a current interview with TMZ Sports activities, Paul revealed that former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou advised him level clean that ‘Iron’ goes to knock him out.
“Mike is huge and beefy, and thick and powerful. Francis really mentioned that he thinks Mike goes to knock me out, which is humorous,” Paul mentioned. “However I do should watch out within the early rounds as a result of Mike has that loopy, loopy punching energy” (h/t BJPenn.com).

With the Texas Division of Licensing and Regulation sanctioning the bout as a professional battle, Paul is aware of that the hazard of stepping contained in the ring with the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ may be very actual.
“100%, man,” Paul continued. “A professional-fight means battle and I don’t take it calmly. You will get significantly harm or injured in there. In case you are not in there to go to battle then you must get out,” Paul added.
Up to now, Jake Paul is 10-1 in his boxing profession with seven of his victories coming by the use of knockout. His lone loss got here in opposition to Tommy Fury in February 2023 when ‘The Downside Little one’ discovered himself on the fallacious aspect of a break up resolution. Since then, he has bested 4 straight opponents, together with ex-UFC star Nate Diaz and BKFC brawler ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry.
Tyson, however, has been out of competitors since a June 11, 2005 scrap with Kevin McBride, although Tyson did return to the ring in 2020 for a charity exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr. that went to an eight-round draw.
