Mike Tyson 'bit my nipple' as Jake Paul receives big warning ahead of controversial boxing fight

Tyson and Paul had been due to do battle on July 20, only for the showdown to be pushed back after the boxing icon suffered an ulcer flare up.

As things stand their contest is set to go ahead on November 15, with millions from around the world poised to tune in.

McBride knows all about fighting Tyson, having beaten 'Iron Mike' by technical knockout during their clash in Washington 19 years ago.

And the 51-year-old, speaking to Instant Casino, has now revealed his old rival bit his nipple during that bout.

“When Tyson hit me I swear I saw Leprechaun's playing drums in my head, so I got hold of him in a headlock and whispered to him 'is that all you got?' and he went crazy," he said.

"He bit my nipple so hard, it was the most excruciating pain that I ever felt in my life, as he pulled away his mouthpiece fell out and thought 'thank god he had his mouthpiece in' if he didn't have that mouthpiece in, I'd be forever known as the Irish heavyweight with one nipple. If you watch the fight back in slow motion you can see him biting my nipple.”

Paul recently warmed up for his tight with Tyson by dispatching Mike Perry.

But McBride has warned the 27-year-old that Tyson will represent his toughest test yet, despite the big age gap between the two fighters.

“Keep you're f*****g hands up and watch that he doesn't spit out his mouth piece and if he does, tell the ref," he continued.

"I'd warn Jake Paul to make sure Mike doesn't spit his mouthpiece out because if he does you never know what's going to happen. You don't know what Mike Tyson is going to do, he's a fearsome man.

"It takes balls to get in the ring with Tyson even in his fifties, whether you're a YouTuber or a fighter, it takes big balls, Tyson is no joke.

“When you're a fighter like Tyson I can tell you he's going in there to win and to take care of business.

"He does not want to look back and think he let Jake Paul off the hook. He's going in there to win and Paul will need to be on his best form to survive.

"I can tell from the media that Tyson has done so far that he wants to win, it's in his blood, the competition will never leave him.”

McBride thinks Paul has improved, especially after his recent win over Perry.

The 27-year-old beat his opponent via knockout, meaning he's lost just one of his 11 professional fights.

But while McBride is pleased to see improvement from Paul, he still thinks Tyson is the favourite to reign supreme.

"Jake Paul's getting a little bit better, he’s getting more ring experience, but he's going to find out the power Tyson has," he continued.

"Paul is maybe half the age of Tyson but Tyson is so dangerous.

"Power is the last thing you lose. You can see it on the videos he's posting, it may only be a short video, but it's unbelievable power.

"All Mike Tyson has to do is connect and Jake Paul will be seeing Christmas lights for the next week. He’ll time him in the first couple rounds and it will be over.

"Tyson is a legend and if he beats Paul you can tell him that if he wants to avenge his defeat, let's get it on. I'd come out of retirement for another Mike Tyson fight. Or if either man pulls out, I'll jump in."
