The article adds that, in an exhibition, there is a referee but no judges, and no winner is declared. “I saw a YouTube of him at 16 doing weird dances,” Tyson said of his opponent to Fox Sports. “That’s not the guy I’m gonna be fighting.
“This guy is gonna come, he’s gonna try to hurt me – which I’m accustomed to – and he’s gonna be greatly mistaken,” the former champ continued. Aged 27 to Tyson’s 57, Paul is actually the favourite to win.
