Francis Ngannou is confident Mike Tyson will get the job done when he returns to the ring for a scrap with Jake Paul this fall.

On Friday, November 15, the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet‘ heads to the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas for his first professional fight in nearly 20 years. Much has been said about the 58-year-old’s highly anticipated comeback, much of it surrounding the massive age gap between the two combatants.

Still, there are plenty who believe Tyson’s legendary power will be ever-present against ‘The Problem Child’ in The Lone Star State.

Speaking with the YouTube star on his BS w/ Jake Paul podcast, Ngannou offered his frank prediction for how things will play out when Paul tests himself against the former unified heavyweight world champion.

“Yeah I do [think Tyson will beat you],” Ngannou told Paul. “Listen, I have seen how Tyson moves around just like to show me stuff… he still got it. Either way, I think Mike Tyson will beat you. We’re talking about Mike, bro. Mike is something else. He’s a specimen… Mike will move from this side to this side without you knowing” (h/t Middle Easy).

Asked what Paul should look out for when he meets ‘Iron’ inside the squared circle, Ngannou had just one word.

“Everything,” Ngannou told Paul with a smile. “Watch out for everything.”

As for Tyson, his last pro fight came on June 11, 2005, in a losing effort against Kevin McBride. In 2020, Tyson competed in a charity boxing match with Roy Jones Jr. that went to an eight-round draw.

Hulk Hogan on Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul

Mike Tyson is a veteran boxer and all-time heavyweight great. He has been inactive for the past 20 years in boxing aside from an exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr just a few years ago. Despite being a powerhouse in his youth, he is now nearly 60 years old.

Jake Paul is a YouTuber turned-boxer who has made a name for himself by defeating former UFC fighters in the ring including Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, and others. His boxing fights always draw blockbuster numbers. He is set to fight the boxing legend Tyson on November 15 on Netflix.

Hulk Hogan, speaking to Jake’s brother, Logan Paul, explained his concerns about Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul. He said:

“Your brother’s too strong, bro. He’s strong. Last night, as soon as I saw him set the guy up with the left, he kept throwing the overhand right, I was like, ‘Oh my God, he’s going to kill somebody.’ No, I mean really. It was scary. I love Mike to death; I don’t want him to kill Mike, Jesus” [Ht Middleeasy]

A sparring partner of Mike Tyson, interestingly enough, said the exact opposite. In the upcoming Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight, he fears for Paul’s safety. He explained:

“For me, it’s going to be a glorified sparring session. When Mike boxed Roy Jones Jr he hit Roy with a body shot and sunk him – and Mike knew he could hurt Roy Jones. Anybody that Mike hits is going to hurt, probably knockout as well but he carried Roy Jones.“

Alexa Grasso Honored to Share UFC 306 Date with ‘Role Model’ Canelo Alvarez: “It’s amazing!”

While we already know how Dana White feels about running against Canelo Alvarez, reigning UFC flyweight women’s champion Alexa Grasso is thrilled to share the date with one of her role models.

On September 14, the promotion will make its highly anticipated debut at Sphere in Las Vegas for a combat sports event unlike anything that’s ever been done before. UFC 306, also known as Riyadh Season Noche UFC, will see two massive world title tilts as ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley puts his bantamweight belt up for grabs against the division’s top-ranked contender, Merab Dvalishvili.

Fans will also witness the first-ever women’s trilogy bout in UFC history when Grasso puts her 125-pound crown on the line against former champion Valentina Shevchenko in the co-main event.

That same night, just a hop, skip, and a jump away, Alvarez will put his WBA, WBC, and WBO super middleweight titles on the line against undefeated standout Edgar Berlanga at T-Mobile Arena.

Speaking with talkSPORT, Grasso expressed excitement over competing on the same night and in the same city as Alvarez.

“I’m a big fan of him, he’s been a big role model in my career,” Grasso said. “We are from the same town – he was born in Guadalajara too. “He has a lot of impact there in society with kids and sports. So, imagine fighting the same day as him. It’s amazing! If I have time, as soon as my fight ends, I’m going to try to watch his fight.”

Alexa Grasso ready to close out rivalry with ‘bullet’ on Mexican Independence Day

After scoring a stunning fourth-round submission against Shevchenko to claim the flyweight title at UFC 285, the two ran it back during last year’s Noche UFC event. Grasso escaped with her gold intact via a highly questionable split draw.

Now, she’ll try to go two-up on ‘Bullet’ and close out their rivalry on an important day for her home country.

“It’s really cool. Mexican Independence is a big day for Mexico. “Big day! We love to celebrate that day and it’s really cool that it’s known for boxing, mostly. They do great fights with fighters from Mexico, with someone so big.

“It’s inspiring. I always dreamed to be on a card like this. Last year it happened, this year it is gonna happen again. This is something the UFC said they are gonna keep [doing]. I’ve seen Canelo doing this. I’ve seen [Juan Manuel] Marquez doing this. I’ve been watching all these amazing, huge boxers fight on this date. Now, being able to be there doing the same thing in MMA, as a girl — it’s big. It’s inspiring. It’s really huge for me.”

Jake Paul Shares Francis Ngannou’s Warning: Mike Tyson is Going to Knock Me Out

Francis Ngannou thinks it’s gonna be a bad night for Jake Paul when he steps inside 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 will be the former unified heavyweight champion’s first professional boxing match in nearly two decades.

From the moment the fight was first announced, their pairing was heavily scrutinized with fans and pundits voicing concern over the 31-year age gap between the two combatants.

Paul, who has all the benefits of youth on his side, is a greater than 2-to-1 favorite to come out on top in The Lone Star State. However, not everyone is willing to count out the 58-year-old icon. During a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Paul revealed that former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou told him point blank that ‘Iron’ is going to knock him out.

“Mike is big and beefy, and thick and strong. Francis actually said that he thinks Mike is going to knock me out, which is funny,” Paul said. “But I do have to be careful in the early rounds because Mike has that crazy, crazy punching power” (h/t BJPenn.com).

Jake Paul is ready to go to war with mike tyson

With the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation sanctioning the bout as a pro fight, Paul knows that the danger of stepping inside the ring with the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ is very real.

“100 percent, man,” Paul continued. “A pro-fight means war and I don’t take it lightly. You can get seriously hurt or injured in there. If you are not in there to go to war then you should get out,” Paul added.

Thus far, Jake Paul is 10-1 in his boxing career with seven of his victories coming by way of knockout. His lone loss came against Tommy Fury in February 2023 when ‘The Problem Child’ found himself on the wrong side of a split decision. Since then, he has bested four straight opponents, including ex-UFC star Nate Diaz and BKFC brawler ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry.

Tyson, on the other hand, has been out of competition since a June 11, 2005 scrap with Kevin McBride, though Tyson did return to the ring in 2020 for a charity exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr. that went to an eight-round draw.
