Controversy currently surrounds the upcoming bout, with the two men due to lock horns on November 15.


Tyson suffered an ulcer flare up earlier this year, forcing the pair to reschedule their fight - having originally intended to do battle on July 20.

There are concerns that he could suffer serious injury when he faces Paul, who is 31 years younger than his rival.

Tyson, for his part, insists he's 'feeling great' as he prepares to return to boxing after a four-year hiatus.

Yet Junior, speaking to talkSPORT, believes the bout 'may get stopped' to avoid any issues.

"I think he may get stopped to be honest with you," he said.

"He is just too old, your body has declined too much at that age

However, with Tyson one of the greatest heavyweights of all time, the 58-year-old will fancy his chances of reigning supreme.

Former boxing star Butterbean, meanwhile, has claimed the fight will never take place - while also labelling it a 'scam'.

"Him and Tyson are never gonna fight," he said during a Q&A.

"That has been a scam from the very beginning just to boost Jake's name - and it has!

"This guy, everybody's talking about him. But he's never gonna fight Tyson.

"They were never planning on fighting each other, because a promoter would never let him fight anyone else in between a fight.

"Never - not that big of a fight. So, it's been a scam from the beginning."
