Mike Tyson has backed Jake Paul to defeat Tyron Woodley
Tyson, the most famous puncher of all time has taken a liking the YouTuber.
Paul even put him on his undercard in November where he knocked out Nate Robinson, ex-NBA star.
Tyson, 55 years old, predicted that Woodley, 39 would suffer the same fate and get a cashout.
On his podcast, he said: "I'm proud about them. Do they intend to fight? He is fighting an experienced fighter. It's just so cool.
"I don’t know. Paul is a great striker. People do Paul a disservice by saying, "He's blonde-haired, blue-eyed, but he's white. ***'," and that it's not. That builds their courage and causes them to get knocked down.
"Jake is going to beat him. Woodley isn't a puncher like this, so he wants to fight him, to probably get his last paycheck.
Paul, 24, defeated 'AnEsonGib,' an online competitor, before taking on Robinson, 37.
In April, he defeated Ben Askren, a retired UFC welterweight - Woodley's friend and training partner - in his final fight.
Paul was not taken beyond round 2, and Askren's KO against Paul was criticized by fans.
The American social media sensation demanded Woodley go 'a few rounds' in their fight.
SunSport's Paul said: "I've made it clear, I would not mind going a few rounds with this man."
"To show my inside fighting and my body work, to show how I set up shots, my head movement, defense.
"To prove that I can take a knockout. It's been too difficult for me to do this so I would be happy for it to go a few rounds. Then the boxing community can say, "Oh, damn, this kid can actually fight."
"Even in my last fight, Ben Askren was knocked out by me, and people were like, "There's no way that's possible, it's rigged."
"Yeah, I want to challenge you and fight hard."
