Former boxing world champion Timothy Bradley has ruthlessly called Jake Paul 'Disney Boy' - and hopes Mike Tyson beats the 27-year-old in their fight in November.

The two men had originally intended to do battle on July 20, only for Tyson's ulcer flare up to push the bout back.

Tyson is one of the best heavyweights of all time, having established himself as a boxing legend during his prime years in the sport.

It is Paul who is the favourite to win, however, due to the 27-year-old having youth on his side.

Bradley has admitted he's eager to see Tyson beat Paul.

And he's also branded the younger boxer 'Disney Boy', referring to when Paul used to appear on the Disney Channel.

"Mike Tyson, knock his ass out, baby!" he said, per the Daily Mirror.

"At first, I thought about it, I was like this is kind of crazy but then I saw the rules.

"It said knockouts, knockdowns. It’s official, it can happen. Two minutes – that’s going to favour Mike Tyson.

"Two minutes instead of three, no doubt about it. Think about it, two-minute drill. He comes out in the first four rounds like he’s always blazing.

"Mike Tyson, getting him against the ropes, banging him to the body, hitting him with power shots, come on, man. He has the potential to knock this man out.

"You know that the power is the last thing that leaves you. This is Mike Tyson we’re talking about, two minutes.

"That’s all it takes. He can get the knockout. Knock Disney Boy the hell out."

Boxing rounds usually last three minutes, instead of two.

Speaking back in May, Tyson said he was behind the decision to shortage the rounds - with the 58-year-old saying he wants 'more action'.

"I wanted the shorter rounds because I wanted more action," he said. "If we only have two minutes, we'll fight more."

Michael Chandler, meanwhile, has admitted he'll probably watch the fight unfold - despite many being unhappy that it's still going ahead.

He told Lucky Block: "Jake Paul fought Mike Perry, who he outweighed by 20 pounds or so and had four inches of height on.

"And now it’s Mike Tyson, who is 30 years older. Mike Tyson's about 60, and Jake’s about 30.

“I love Mike Tyson. Nobody wants to see Mike Tyson get knocked out.

"But everybody wants to see Mike Tyson catch Jake Paul and knock him out.

"So I mean, you’re gonna watch it. I’m gonna watch it. It's great for a fun—not taking boxing seriously, if you will—fight night, and I’ll probably watch it.”
