JAKE PAUL’S long-awaited clash with Mike Tyson could be over in 60 seconds, claims the legend’s former trainer.

ReutersTyson had the fight postponed due to health issues after he suffered a medical emergency on board a flight as a result of an ulcer flare up.
Ahead of the clash, Tyson‘s ex-trainer Jeff Fenech reckons he will wipe the floor with the man 31 years his junior.
Fenech, who trained the ex-world champion in his 2004 and 2005 defeats to Danny Williams and Kevin McBride, said it will take just one minute for him to win.
He told World Boxing News: “I do not doubt Mike takes it easy and doesn’t try to punch at the same time [he will win].
“If he makes Jake Paul miss, Mike will knock him out in a couple of rounds – one hundred percent.
“I spoke to Mike. I told him what I felt. Hopefully, he’ll listen to me. We said the same thing anyway.
“If he does what he said, then I have no doubt he will knock him out. He’ll have no problem.
“If Mike lands one clean punch, and if he makes him miss, he will make him pay. If he doesn’t try and strike at the same time and is patient, the fight could be over in one minute.”

On getting back in the ring aged 58, Iron Mike said: “I want to change biology. I want to change the way people think about age.
“People think that as you get older, you become weaker and less physically active at a high level. It’s all psychological.”
Tyson and Paul’s fight will be shown on Netflix.
