Carl Froch believes the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight was “scripted” to give Paul a win.

Froch has been critical of Paul for years, and he’s not holding back on Friday’s fight between the YouTuber-turned-boxer and Tyson on streaming giant Netflix.

“Iron Mike,” who will turn 59 in June, will end a nearly 20-year hiatus to face the 27-year-old at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The two fight over eight two-minute rounds in a professional fight, but “The Cobra” believes the fight will go to Paul.

“I think it’s a scripted fight and will last three or four rounds,” he told GB News via Casino.org.

“Jake Paul will definitely win; Tyson may start well, but then he will fall.

“Paul cannot lose. It’s in the contract, he can’t lose.

“He’s a useless idiot.”

The American rivals were supposed to fight on July 20, but the fight was postponed due to Tyson’s injury ulcer exacerbation.

Tyson, the former undisputed heavyweight champion, was questioned about fighting someone of Paul’s caliber, but Froch does not believe the outcome will have an impact on his legacy.

“I don’t think so, no,” he added when asked if the defeat would impact his legacy.

“I think it’s unlikely he would grab the microphone and start bragging after beating up an elderly man.

“If so, he really has more illusory energy than I thought.

“Mike Tyson is an iconic name after what he achieved in sport when he was physically fit and capable, but not at the age of 58.”

Tyson remained mute at Wednesday’s final press conference, insisting he was ready to fight for the first time as a professional since his 2005 loss to Kevin McBride.

Even Paul was left to handle most of the promotional issues during the press conference confrontation with those on the bottom card who chose a Brooklyn legend to beat him.

Both pairs will face each other for the last time at the weigh-in on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. Polish time.

Tony Bellew threatened to “annihilate” three police officers after being kicked out of the final press conference ahead of Jake Paul’s fight with Mike Tyson.

Bellew stole the show by interrupting the press conference in a stunt organized by Paddy Power. He was accompanied by a pensioner wearing a dressing gown and boxing gloves, whom Bellew introduced as Paul’s next opponent.

As the ancient man began shadow boxing next to him, Bellew said, “Jake Paul, the biggest clown in boxing. If Mike lets you survive Saturday night, I’ve got your next opponent, Jake, here.”

Bellew was immediately ejected from the press conference and almost got into a fight with three police officers, with the former world cruiserweight champion threatening to knock them out.

He explained to talkSPORT: “They were all massive boys. One of them pushed me lightly and I said: ‘Just don’t touch me, I’ll walk around quite cheerful, boys, just don’t raise your hands. on me.” He said, “Okay.”

“When we approached the policeman with the gun in his belt, the guy lightly pushed me in the back. And I said, ‘You are an absolute coward.’ He must have been six feet eight inches elevated. I said, “Do you understand what I would do to you?”

“His partner said, ‘All the talk.’ I replied: ‘It’s not a conversation, it’s a promise. I would annihilate three of you at once. Please don’t do this».

“The policeman said, ‘You’re a fighter, aren’t you? I see how placid you were in the company of these massive boys». I replied, “I don’t really care about them, they don’t intimidate me.”

Time will tell whether Bellew will be in attendance for Paul’s match against Tyson, who is taking part in his first officially sanctioned fight since 2005. About 70,000 fans are expected to watch the fight, and it will be broadcast live on Netflix.

The event was widely criticized by boxing purists who are unhappy that the result will break Tyson’s professional record. Eddie Hearn has already confirmed that he plans to leave the arena before the main event, which he has no intention of watching.

The most significant event of this gala will be Katie Taylor’s fight for the second time with Amanda Serrano, who won her first fight by split decision two years ago.

Boxing fans spent a fortune buying a staggering £1.5million of VIP tickets for Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson. Six guests will receive incredible access to both fighters and a huge range of benefits over three days.

The package includes a pre-fight locker room visit and a custom-built ringside room to elevate the lucky winners above the rest of the crowd. They will also be on stage during the ceremonial weigh-in and will have private entry to all events.

In total, guests can enjoy 12 benefits, which also include a two-night stay at the luxurious Loews Arlington hotel. It is believed that the exclusive package was purchased by personal injury law firm TorkLaw and they will definitely be seen on Netflix due to the proximity of their suite to the ring.

However, early photos of the stadium suggest that guests won’t actually be able to watch the action unfold in front of them. Instead, there are television screens in the walled area that will show the fighting.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul will fight former undisputed world heavyweight champion Tyson on Saturday morning in Texas. Concerns have been raised over the huge 31-year age difference between the fighters.

Paul is in excellent sports shape at the age of 27, and Tyson is 58. Concerns were raised for the boxing icon’s safety and he revealed he even rejected his wife’s advice that he didn’t need to take the fight.

Both fighters are expected to earn huge amounts of money for this fight. Paul boasted that he could earn around £31 million ($40 million), although Tyson downplayed the figures, saying they would not change his life.
