Ex-UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou gives brutal warning to Jake Paul for his upcoming fight with Mike Tyson

Social media influencer turned boxer Jake Paul has made a name for himself in professional boxing. He has some notable wins over retired MMA fighters like Anderson Silva, Mike Perry and Tyron Woodley. Now, he is getting close to his upcoming bout against legendary boxer Mike Tyson. Ahead of their upcoming clash on November 15 in Las Vegas, former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou has warned Paul about Tyson and even predicted that despite the massive age gap, Mike will beat Jake inside the squared circle.

Francis warns Jake Paul

Iron Mike Tyson used to train Ngannou and spent the last year helping the former UFC fighter make his transition from MMA to boxing for his clash against boxer Tyson Fury. Recently, Nagnnou even told a reporter that Mike would beat Paul. 

"You spoke to some reporter yesterday or the day before and you said that Mike Tyson is going to beat my ass," Paul said to Ngannou on his podcast.

Ngannou did not go back on his words and responded by saying "I do. Listen, I have seen Tyson move around to show me stuff and I was like, 'Calm down.' He has still got it....Either way I think Mike Tyson will beat you. We're talking about Mike bro. Mike is something else, he is a specimen."

Paul took the answer well and laughed. He said "I love it when people stand on business and say the other person is going to win. This is great for me, Francis Ngannou says I'm going to get knocked the f*** out."

Jake Paul even tried to learn from Ngannou about Tyson before his upcoming fight but Francis just advised him and said "You need to watch out for everything. Mike will move from this side to this side without you knowing. In another circumstance, I would be like 'OK, let's go Jake', but with this I'm like, 'Bro, let's be real'."
