. Adam Catterall recently sat down to interview Tyson for talkSPORT and now he's convinced Paul is in trouble . " Jake Paul 's not from this world," Catterall told the Sports Bar Weekender.
"Jake Paul is quite evidently, trying to make a name for himself in the boxing world off the back of the legend's name in Mike Tyson . "We know what level Jake Paul's at as a boxer. I saw him in with Tommy Fury .
"With all due respect to Tommy Fury, I don't think Tommy Fury is going to win a British title, right? "And that's not me putting down the British title. What I'm trying to do is compare what Mike Tyson was to the kid he's stepping in with. Mike Tyson's an icon.
.. "I don't care how old Mike Tyson is, he's not a normal 58-year-old so don't judge him like normal fellas.
"We're talking about a kid that used to present on the Disney Channel, that stepped into the world of boxing...
"I fear for Jake Paul. People are coming at me going 'What are you talking about? "'Mike Tyson is nearly 60. It's ridiculous, he should never be in the ring'.
"I agree with all those arguments but if you're actually just looking at the contest I fear for Jake Paul because he's not cut from this world. "If he oversteps the mark and he puts it on Mike a bit that is switch is going to go. "And when the switch goes all he needs to do is throw one combination.
It could be carnage mate...
