Nick Ball believes that Mike Tyson will knock out Jake Paul when they meet in the ring.
There’s a huge fight planned for the pair this summer, with speculation over whether Tyson is simply too old, or if Paul is simply too inexperienced.
Either way, the fight is going down as a professional one and will go on the respective fighters’ records.
Ball himself is fighting this weekend, live on DAZN where he will be taking on WBA featherweight champion Raymond Ford.
For the Briton, Tyson is an inspiration.
“I’ve watched loads of him to be honest,” Ball told BoxingScene. “I still do to this day. That’s what people have been saying, we’ve got similarities. I like the way he fights.
“All his fights are exciting no matter who he’s in the ring with. He’d treat them all the same and goes into every fight the same. It’s no messing. That’s what I like about him. No messing. No wasting time. Straight to business.”
Asked about what will happen to Paul on July 20, he had no doubts, saying: “He’ll be knocked out cold. He’s doing my head in.”
