Katie Taylor threw down the gauntlet to a trash-talking Jake Paul, predicting that he would be beaten by Mike Tyson this Saturday morning.
Paul takes on Tyson this Saturday at the 80,000 capacity AT&T Stadium - home of the NFL franchise the Dallas Cowboys - with the promotional tour in full swing over the last couple of days.
Katie Taylor is fighting her rival Amanda Serrano on the undercard in a hotly anticipated bout, predicted to begin at 2.30am Irish time.
Paul was left reeling as Taylor and the rest of the promotional panel - Mario Barrios and Bruce 'Shu Shu' Carrington - gave the nod to Tyson, with Taylor stating that 'you can never bet against a legend.'

An irate Paul made his way around the table contesting the prediction with Taylor backing her convictions.
The American asked the Bray woman if she wanted to bet on the result of his fight, with Taylor asking 'do you want to bet your purse on it?
‼️ Jake Paul furiously challenges Katie Taylor, Mario Barrios and Bruce 'Shu Shu' Carrington to bets after they predict Mike Tyson will win. Jake tells 'Shu Shu': “The time I spend taking a s*** is how much you make in your whole life. Shut the f*** up.”

It's not the first time Paul and Taylor have clashed over a bet, with the Youtuber turned boxer wagering €1 million on Serrano to beat Taylor last time out, with Taylor defying him to come out on top.
Paul and Tyson were initially due to clash in July only for the fight to be pulled due to an ulcer flare-up on Tyson's behalf. The headline fight is expected to take place at 4am Irish time.
