Tony Bellew reacts to being thrown out of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson press conference as bold fight prediction made

Tony Bellew says he's 'absolutely petrified' for Mike Tyson against Jake Paul as he gave his immediate reaction after being escorted out of the pre-fight press conference.

Bellew crashed the pre-fight press conference between Paul and Tyson as he pulled off a hilarious stunt before being escorted out by security.

After the presser, the retired boxer spoke to iFL TV, where he gave his immediate reaction to his stunt.

Bellew also gave his prediction for Paul vs. Tyson, admitting he's 'absolutely petrified' for the ageing boxing legend.

"Listen I just needed to let it be known that Jake Paul's fighting a grandfather and if he loses to a grandfather, he's going to need the comeback opponent and I've got Norman," he said on his presser antics, standing alongside the older gentleman, who was involved in the stunt.

"Norman's a great grandfather, he's got two new hips and he's ready to rock and roll. He's the champion of the care home.

"Jake Paul's going down that path. I mean why not just fight someone like Norman. He's going to need to an opponent to come back to, so you know a great-grandfather like Norman... he's ready."

Pressed on the motive behind the stunt, he replied: "I'm not that type of guy, but I am when it's me hero on the stage and I've got Norman ready to take him on."

Bellew then delivered a bold prediction as he hopes Paul 'doesn't hurt' Tyson in the ring.

"I have no idea. I'm absolutely petrified to be honest I just hope he doesn't hurt Mike," he added. Asked if the 27-year-old could hurt the 58-year-old, he replied: "Of course he could... he's half the age."

Despite the Brit being in his forties and not in fight shape, he insists he would 'lamp' the American star if they fought.

"I'm 41, I play golf a couple of times a week and I've got a fat belly, and he wouldn't stand a single hope in hell against me," he said on a potential fight against the YouTuber-turned-boxer. "I wouldn't even need to train I could just get in the ring and lamp him out pretty quickly but it's not about me."
