“If you love the sport of boxing and have had the opportunity to fight a legend, it is an honor to be there working with one of the three greatest legends in the historic sport,” Paul said when asked about those who were critical of him Fight against 58-year-old Tyson.

Additionally, he made a bold prediction about what to expect when the two put on the gloves and enter the ring.

“I think I’ll TKO or KO him in round four or five,” Paul said.

The fight was originally scheduled to take place in July but was ultimately pushed back to November. It will be part of a four-fight card that also includes a bout for the women’s boxing lightweight title between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.

As always, Paul is not lacking in confidence before stepping into the ring against Tyson and he makes it clear that he intends to deliver the knockout blow in the middle rounds.
