For the Baddest Man of the Planet’s last professional bout, you have to go back to 2005.

He’s the much stronger man, but I’m fresh. He’s experienced. I’m smart but in the ring, he may be smarter, so it’s a really interesting match-up.
“It’s going to be tough. He looks like a beast, he’s a dog, he’s ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson. But I believe I have what it takes to beat him and I know this is the toughest test of my life and it’s an honour to be in there with Mike.
But at the end of the day, I’m going to be the one who gets my hand raised.” *What’s your prediction for Tyson vs Paul? He told Fox News: “I have a weird personality – I don’t think it’s weird though.
Whatever I’m afraid to do, I do it. That’s how it is. “I was afraid of the Roy [Jones] fight.
I was 100 pounds overweight, I was however old, 54, 53, and I said, ‘Let’s do it’. Anything I’m afraid of, I confront it. That’s my personality.
If I didn’t have these feelings, I wouldn’t go into this fight. I have to have these feelings to fight. “Without them, I would never go in the ring.
As the fight gets closer, the less nervous I become because it’s reality, and in reality, I’m invincible.”
