The YouTuber has provided his assessment as the crash creeps closer

KSI has criticised Jake Paul and Mike Tyson for their upcoming fight - but thinks the 27-year-old will reign supreme when they meet on November 15.

The bout was confirmed back in March and there's now just weeks away from the showdown, which will take place in Arlington, Texas.


KSI has ventured into boxing in the past and is keen on facing Paul, with the pair exchanging tense words in the past.

First, however, the 27-year-old will need to get the better of a man widely considered to be one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, KSI has backed Paul to beat Tyson.

But he's not been impressed by training footage uploaded by the younger man, insisting he 'looks awful'.

"I've seen parts of his training footage. He (Paul) just looks awful," he said.

"He just looks so slow, so sluggish. This isn't his natural weight.

"It is what it is. I still think he's going to absolutely destroy Mike Tyson because Mike Tyson is old as f**k.

"And when he does get obliterated and then people on Twitter are going to be like 'how did we let this happen? Oh no, this is so bad!'

"I'm going to be the one being like 'well, I f*****g told you."

Tyson and Paul had originally been due to fight on July 20, only for the former to suffer an ulcer flare up that forced the contest to be postponed.

The pair will have the eyes of the world on them when they meet, with millions expected to tune in.

Tyson, at the age of 58, will be something of an unknown quantity.

However, speaking recently, the veteran insisted he was out to silence his critics and prove that age is just a number.

"I want to change biology, I want to change the way people think about age," he said in a clip uploaded to his Instagram.

The boxing icon then added: "People think that as you get older you become weaker, you become less physically active at a high level.

"It's all psychological. If you believe you feel bad and you feel old - then you feel bad and old.

"If you believe feel great, you feel great. It's all about what we see about ourselves."

Tyson's last fight was against Roy Jones Jr in 2020.
