MIKE TYSON has confidently claimed he would kick Floyd Mayweather’s “a**” in a street fight.
But the former heavyweight world champion, 53, admitted it would be a different outcome if they were the same size in the ring.
Mike Tyson has taken another cheeky swipe at the American superstar
Tyson took a cheeky dig at the American superstar, 43, as he insisted it would not even be a contest if they ever came to blows.
When asked about a street fight with Mayweather during an interview with GQ, Iron Mike said: “[I would] kick Floyd’s a**, there wouldn’t even be no match.
“[If] I was his size in the ring, he would outpoint me.”
Tyson retired from boxing in 2005 with an incredible record of 50 wins, six defeats and two no contests.
He admitted earlier last year that he is no longer the man he once was after smoking toad venom cleaned his inner demons.
And he previously accused the former five-weight world champion – who retired with a 50-0 record – of being “delusional” after he claimed he is the greatest boxer ever.
Tyson insisted Mayweather is nowhere near the level of Muhammad Ali.
He said: “Listen, if he was anywhere near that realm of great as Muhammed Ali, he’d be able to take his kids to school by himself.
“OK, he can’t take his kids to school by himself, and he’s talking about he’s great?
“Greatness is not guarding yourself from the people. It’s being accepted by the people.
“He can’t take his kids alone to school by himself. He’s a little scared man. He’s a very small, scared man.”
