The YouTuber turned boxer is set to face the former undisputed heavyweight champion on November 15th after their original fight was rescheduled due to ‘Iron Mike’s’ ulcer flare-up.

But, speaking to Instant Casino via the Daily Express, Bellew went in on ‘The Problem Child’.
He said: “He’s a disgrace to boxing. He’s not a boxer. And it’s a disgrace he’s pushed for this to go on his professional record,” he continued. “Why isn’t an exhibition enough? Why does he need it on his professional record? Because he’s a plant pot. And he’s an idiot. He’s ego hungry.
“Now, I never called Jake Paul things like that. Mate, you’re trying to put your name amongst greats of the sport. Michael Spinks, Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Jake Paul? It’s disgusting and I can’t believe a commission signed off on it.”
Team Tyson says that Jake Paul is done come November 15th!
“We don’t want to throw one bomb we want to throw missiles, one after the other.” 🗣️

He continued: “I’ve got no problem with them having an exhibition and Mike should make a fortune. I hope he doesn’t get hurt. You know, I really do pray to whoever or whatever that he stays safe and healthy but to go on your professional record, it just infuriates me. It’s ridiculous.”
Bellew concluded: “I just hope Mike stays safe. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t know what’s going to happen in the freak show. But I just hope Mike is safe because he wasn’t well not long ago and this guy still wants to face him.”
