<body><div>Boxing legend Larry Holmes has weighed in on the upcoming bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, suggesting the vetern could "embarrass" the YouTuber-turned-boxer. The anticipated match was initially set for July but had to be postponed due to Tyson's health issues involving an ulcer flare-up. Now back in training, the 58-year-old Tyson is gearing up to face Paul on November 15 at the AT&amp;T Arena in Arlington, Texas, with the fight being officially recognized as a professional heavyweight contest.Concerns have been raised about Tyson's well-being, considering his age when he enters the ring. However, Holmes, a former IBF and WBC heavyweight champion who knows Tyson's power firsthand from their 1988 clash, doesn't seem worried.Holmes experienced Tyson's devastating punches during their fight, which did not end favorably for him. Despite putting up a bit of a fight early on, Tyson went on to knock the heavyweight icon out in the fourth round. Holmes revealed that he was left humiliated after the contest and believes the same could happen to Paul next month. Speaking to OLBG, the 74 year old said: "Tyson ducks, moves his head, and gets in close. He'll take a punch or two to get in close, and then once he's up close he'll go to work on the body, and then that head."Mike knocked the ---- out of me, he hit me so hard I went ‘wooooo’. And he beat me. It was embarrassing. I remember the right hand he hit me with - I thought at the time ‘he should be locked up’ because of the power, and he kept on coming, growling like Joe Frazier. That’s the fight I’m expecting Mike to put on. Jake has to survive that."<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1aGyRw_0wD2m78R00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1aGyRw_0wD2m78R00" width="1200" height="883" ><figcaption>Tyson is more than 30 years older than Paul ( Image: Michael Loccisano/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>In the same interview, Holmes issued another warning to "The Problem Child", saying: "I watched a clip of Mike Tyson this morning and all I can say is Jake better be ready if he's going to fight Mike. Mike will be able to last the two minute rounds."Mike comes to fight when he puts his mind to it, he goes to work on you. And that’s what I've seen today. And if this guy tries to trade punches with Mike, he loses."He added: "Mike is a puncher. I fought Mike and he hit me and that was the end of it. Earnie Shavers was one of the hardest punchers there’s ever been and Mike is right up there with him at the top. Earnie Shavers was the hardest I've ever faced but when Tyson hits, he tries to kill you. And Mike can take a good punch, I hit him a couple of times and he kept on coming. "Jake will hit him, but Mike is going to keep on coming. He better be ready for Mike to keep coming forward with punches."Despite it being years since Tyson threw punches in a pro setting - his last professional match was back in 2005, losing to Kevin McBride - he did make an appearance in the ring against Roy Jones Jr in a showcased exhibition four years ago. Meanwhile, the youthful 27-year-old Paul is riding high into this encounter with a victory over Mike Perry this past July under his belt.</div></body>
