It will be Iron Mike’s first professional fight in 19 years, but flyweight Ball is convinced he can take the win.
The 27-year-old told BoxingScene: “He [Paul] will be knocked out cold. He’s doing my head in.
“I’ve watched loads of [Tyson] to be honest, I still do to this day. That’s what people have been saying, we’ve got similarities.
“I like the way he fights. All his fights are exciting no matter who he’s in the ring with.
“He’d treat them all the same and goes into every fight the same. It’s no messing. That’s what I like about him. No messing. No wasting time. Straight to business.”
Due to his age, Tyson will have to pass brain and heart tests to be eligible to fight.
The boxing icon suffered a medical emergency on a flight earlier this week.
However, he took to social media the following day to confirm that he is still okay to fight Paul.
