Much has been made of the huge age-gap between the pair and there have been health concerns surrounding Tyson.
Paul’s latest comments, when attending the Miami Grand prix are distasteful at best considering the widespread and warranted concerns ahead of the showdown.
He said: “It’s war; all is fair in love and war. I love the guy, but as soon as it turned into a pro fight, one of us has to die.
“He’s taking this very, very seriously and that’s what’s going to make the fight amazing for all the fans.
“He’s a killer. I’m moving up to the heavyweight division so he’s going to have some advantages but that’s what’s going to make this fight exciting.
“We both have one-punch knockout power. This is what he was destined to do and what he was born for.
“And he was the one who wanted it to be a pro fight. We were figuring out the rules and Mike said, ‘I want it to be a pro fight. I want to end this kid and stop everything he’s doing.’
“So I agreed to make it a pro fight and it’s as real as it gets.”
