"He tried to bite my nipple off" - Mike Tyson's last opponent recalls facing boxing legend, warns Jake Paul about his "unbelievable power"

Mike Tyson's last professional boxing opponent believes Jake Paul is in store for a tough night out.

In 2005, Tyson competed in his 58th professional bout, against Kevin McBride, which he lost. The once-dominant knockout artist ultimately quit on the stool after six competitive rounds, during which he was penalized for headbutts. He subsequently retired.

A lesser-known tidbit about the fight is that 'Iron Mike' allegedly used dirty tactics akin to those he employed during his infamous rematch against Evander Holyfield, where he bit his opponent's ear.

Talking to Bloody Elbow, McBride revealed that Tyson tried to bite his nipple off during their fight:

"He tried to bite my nipple off, honest to God... I remember vividly he pulled away from me and my nipple was slipping out of his mouth... I'm glad he had a mouthpiece in because if he had spat out the mouthpiece it'd have been a different story... He could have spit my nipple up [like he did to Holyfield's ear] and thank God he didn't."

The 51-year-old also sent a grim warning to Paul, Tyson's next opponent, about 'Iron Mike's' power:

"He has unbelievable power and you'd have to feel it to understand it. I sparred fighters like Riddick Bowe and had different fights all over the world, a lot of people hit hard, but Tyson, if you say all those others were five or six, he was a 10 out of 10... What I'd say to Jake and his coaches is to try and ride the storm."

Mike Tyson sees Jake Paul "running" from him in their fight

It looks like the 'Iron Mike' of old will be making a return to the ring when he meets Jake Paul on Nov. 15. During an interview with talkSport Boxing, Mike Tyson spoke with conviction about how he sees the fight unfolding.

The former heavyweight champion considers 'The Problem Child' an amateur and believes Paul will be hesitant to engage, and it'd be upon him to cut off the ring against the social media star and finish the fight:

"He's only had 10 fights, that's considered an amateur in our field... [When we fight] I see him running around and I'll have to watch him and slaughter him."
