Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are set to collide on November 15th but one boxing legend believes it is all a scam.
Eric Esch aka Butterbean has explained why he thinks the unsavoury match-up is just a publicity stunt for the YouTuber come boxer.
He said: “Him and Tyson are never gonna fight. That has been a scam from the very beginning just to boost Jake’s name – and it has.
“This guy, everybody’s talking about him, but he’s never gonna fight Tyson
“They were never planning on fighting each other, because a promoter would never let him fight anyone else in between a fight.

“Never – not that big a fight. It’s been a scam from the beginning.”
Butterbean has revealed he wants to fight Paul himself and called him out to a £1.5million winner-takes-all bout.
He said on TikTok: “Hey Jake Paul, would you fight me for $2m [£1.5m]? Winner takes all.”
