Paul, with many fans and ex-pros unhappy that the fight is taking place at all.
‘Iron Mike’ himself has admitted he’s ‘scared to death’ ahead of the fight with ‘The Problem Child’.
‘This is called an exhibition, but if you look up exhibition, you won’t see any of the laws we’re fighting under,’ he told Fox News.
‘This is a fight. I don’t think he’s faster than me. I’ve seen a YouTube video of him at 16 doing weird dancing. That’s not the guy I’m fighting. This is a guy who’s going to try and hurt me, which I’m accustomed to, and he’s going to be greatly mistaken.’
Right now, I’m scared to death,’ he added. ‘As the fight gets closer, the less nervous I become because it’s reality, and in reality I’m invincible.’
