YOUTUBE superstar KSI has delivered a bold prediction over Jake Paul’s fight with Mike Tyson while also blasting the bout as “disgusting.”
Paul, 27, and Tyson, 58, will finally meet in the ring on Friday night in Texas, with the battle being streamed live around the world on Netflix.
There is a 31-year age gap between the pair, who clashed at their weigh-in yesterday with a slapping showdown.
And some feel that will work in Paul’s favour after he proved his worth as a fighter in 11 prior bouts.
However, Tyson was once the heavyweight champion of the world and even earned a nickname as “The Baddest Man on the Planet.”
If the veteran can summon some of his old skills, other fans reckon he will get the better of social media star-turned-boxer Paul.

And now, popular stream KSI has added his two cents to the conversation.
He boxed and won a fight in 2019 against Jake’s older brother Logan, who he now runs drinks company Prime with.
KSI has also competed against the likes of Joe Fournier and Tommy Fury.
And he predicts an easy win for Paul due to his age.
