The heavyweight boxing icon faces the YouTuber-turned-boxer on November 15 in Texas.
Froch has scrutinised the bout due to the 30-year age gap between them. But he would be a happy viewer if Tyson rolled back the clock and performed the same bite that landed him in hot water in 1997. Froch told Best Anonymous Casinos: “Mike Tyson is a bit of a livewire and you can only frustrate him for so long before he does something about it.
“I felt like biting Andre Ward’s ear off, I gave it a little nibble I apologised after the fight because I was so frustrated, but I would’ve never ripped it out or taken a chunk out like Tyson did because I’m not a lunatic. I was like; ‘Stop holding me’, because you can’t do anything.
“I was like; ‘Stop holding me’, because you can’t do anything. So I get where Tyson’s coming from it’s just instinctive.
“If Tyson bites Jake Paul’s ear off that would be legendary.”
Tyson was banned from boxing for 15 months and handed a $3million for sinking his teeth into Holyfield’s ear. The two later made up but Iron Mike would never hold heavyweight gold again before his retirement in 2005. But Tyson did return in 2020 for an eight-round exhibition with Roy Jones Jr which ended in a draw. It was the last time he was in the ring meanwhile Paul is 9-1 as a boxer.
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson showcase their jacked physiques ahead of insane body transformations. Tyson was forced to pull out of his initial July 20 fight date with Paul after suffering an ulcer flare up when flying from Miami to Los Angeles. He was advised to take a break from training and as a result, the controversial clash faces a four-month delay.
