Watch Francis Ngannou brutally tell Jake Paul what ‘specimen’ Mike Tyson will do to him after training with boxing icon
FRANCIS NGANNOU gave Jake Paul a brutal warning about his fight against “specimen” Mike Tyson.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul faces heavyweight boxing royalty Tyson on November 15 in Texas.
Iron Mike spent time last year helping Ngannou bridge the gap from MMA to boxing ahead of his ring debut against Tyson Fury.
And Paul heard that Ngannou was backing his old boxing mentor to do the business despite being 30 YEARS older.
Paul said to Ngannou on his podcast: “You spoke to some reporter yesterday or the day before and you said that Mike Tyson is going to beat my ass.”
Ngannou bluntly responded: “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 it well and laughed: 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.”
Ngannou, 37, dropped Fury, 36, only to lose a controversial split-decision in Saudi Arabia.

He then faced Anthony Joshua, 34, in March but was knocked out and now returns to MMA on October 19 to face 6ft 8in Renan Ferreira, 34.
But Paul, 27, was quick to try and find out what he could learn from Ngannou after his training sessions with Tyson, 58.
And Ngannou 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’.”
