The YouTuber star will take on the boxing icon in the ring this summer and will not allow Iron Mike to replicate his infamous bite on Evander Holyfield in the 1997 heavyweight world title fight.

Paul told Fox News: "He can’t bite my ear off if I knock his teeth out."

The influence thinks that his youth and athleticism will make the difference in the clash with Tyson despite his rival's vast boxing experience.

Paul said: "I’m the faster man. He’s the much stronger man, but I’m fresh.

"He’s experienced. I’m smart but in the ring he may be smarter, so it’s a really interesting match-up.

"It’s going to be tough. He looks like a beast. He’s a dog. He’s 'Iron' Mike Tyson.

"But I believe I have what it takes to beat him and I know this is the toughest test of my life and it’s an honour to be in there with Mike.

"But at the end of the day I’m going to be the one who gets my hand raised."

Paul confessed that he is slightly "scared" to be taking on the heavyweight great and is likely to have a "wow moment" when he steps into the ring.

He said: "I am a little scared, because it is Mike Tyson, and when I look across the ring, I'm just going to have a 'wow' moment where I'm actually going to fight Mike Tyson.

"It's hard work but mostly self belief - I sit there and manifest so many things and say my goals all the time and actually do the work to put into it."
