Mike Tyson has been backed to ‘flatline’ Logan Paul by former UFC champion Michael Bisping.
Legendary former heavyweight world champion Tyson is reportedly set to face YouTube star turned boxer Paul in an exhibition bout next year.
Tyson, who faced Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition fight last year 15 years after his last professional contest, is almost 30 years Paul’s senior at 55.
But UFC legend Bisping is confident Iron Mike would have no problem in brutally stopping Paul, who recently held his own against 44-year-old Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"Logan, you know, he's tall, he's long," Bisping said on his YouTube channel.
"He's kind of a big guy, he's athletic. He's got a great physique. Jake Paul is by far the better boxer I would say. If I had to pick who was better then I'd say Jake Paul's way better.
"But Logan, you know, he has some skills. He can certainly punch and as I say, he's big and he's athletic and he'll learn from the fight against Floyd.
"Maybe he'll learn to manage his gas tank a little better. But there's just no way I don't see Mike Tyson going out there and absolutely flatlining him."
Tyson has confirmed that he is expecting to return to the ring in February next year.
Logan’s younger brother Jake is expected to fight Tommy Fury either later this year or early in 2022.
Fury’s dad, John, recently revealed to the True Geordie podcast that his son could fight Logan after Jake. "Well if he (Tommy) gets Jake Paul, we'd like to go after his brother Logan Paul," he said.
"Once he beats, sorry when he smashes Jake Paul, he'll take on his brother Logan and smash him along if he fancied it.”
