The YouTuber will take on the former heavyweight world champion in the controversial bout in November with the clash taking place in the form of eight two-minute rounds at the request of Tyson.

Paul thinks that the bout should be held with traditional rules but has vowed to defeat Iron Mike despite ceding to all of his opponent's demands.

The social media star told Mail Sport: "It's interesting, I'm just, I'm just basing s*** off of facts.

"He's like, 'Watch your shape, watch your shape'. I'm like, 'Alright, but you watch it'.

"It could be to his advantage. I think it's also smart that he's doing that. I'm fighting on all of his rules and what he wanted.

"He wanted it to be a pro fight. He wanted eight, two-minute rounds. So I'm giving him everything he wants.

"I'm going to his playground, and I'm going to beat his a**. I mean, it's just being alert and knowing what to do in that situation."

Paul believes that the boxing icon will try and finish the fight early with a knockout but says that he will be putting himself at risk by taking that approach.

He said: "I could definitely see him trying to go for an early KO, but he'll find out very quickly that I also have a ton of power.

"So doing that with a guy like me isn't always the smartest thing to do, because I'll catch one of his shots then counter."
