KSI: Mike Tyson warned of 'Total destruction' ahead of clash with Jake Paul

Always a massive rival of Jake Paul, polarizing musician and YouTuber, KSI claims the Ohio puncher will still likely “destroy” former world heavyweight boxing champion, Mike Tyson next month — despite poking fun at the former’s training footage ahead of the bout.

Paul, who boasts a 10-1 professional boxing record, most recently featured in a short-notice main event bout with former UFC welterweight contender and current BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) star, Mike Perry, landing his tenth professional win to boot.

As for Tyson, the former undisputed heavyweight gold holder in professional boxing, has been sidelined from competition since 2006, most recently ending his career in the midst of a two-fight losing run to both Kevin McBride and Danny Williams.

“I’ve seen parts of his (Jake Paul’s) training footage, he just looks awful,” KSI said on his YouTube channel. “He just looks so slow, so sluggish. This isn’t his natural weight. It is what it is. I still think he’s going to absolutely destroy Mike Tyson because Mike Tyson is old as f*ck.
