“I don’t see how he’s going to make it an exciting fight by running all day.
“He’s supposed to be the young guy, he’s supposed to walk right through me.
“I’m an old man but he’s going to run all night. He should try it (meet me in the centre of the ring); he’s a younger man.
“He should be able to take punches from an old and withering man like me.”

A third said: “Your discipline and will is now more than in 1986 when you worked with Kevin Rooney. God bless you Champ @miketyson.”
And a fourth said: “He’s getting more and more scary.”
Tyson dominated boxing during his prime years, with the veteran securing 44 of his 50 victories via knockout.
Not many are giving him a chance of beating Paul, however, given how the former YouTube and Disney star is 31 years his junior.

Speaking to Fox 4 Dallas, he said: “I can’t wait for this evening to happen. I just don’t think he’s taking it seriously.
“I think he believes he’s the young guy and I’m the quasi-retirement child, they may think I’m an easy touch.
“[The fans] won’t believe the spectacle that’s going to happen, it’ll be something they’ve never experienced before as far as pain is concerned.”
Tyson also seems to be lapping up being the underdog.

He believes Paul will be doing himself a disservice if he ends up running around the ring, rather than facing him head on.
Tyson has described himself as ‘old and whitering’, too.
But he believes the fight will be over in just a matter of minutes, such is his confidence in his own ability.
“Not long, as soon as I catch him, because he’s going to run like a thief,” he said when asked how long the bout will go on for.
