The two men are set to fight on November 15
Tony Bellew has ripped into Jake Paul and branded the 27-year-old a ‘egotistical clown’ ahead of his fight with Mike Tyson later this year.
Paul recently beat Mike Perry, with the American winning via knockout to set up his clash with Tyson later in the year.
Millions from around the world are set to watch the action unfold when the pair finally do battle on November 15.
But Bellew, who has been critical of the fight in the past, has now ripped into Paul for allowing it to happen.

Tyson is now 58 and recently suffered an ulcer flare up. Though he remains a formidable boxer, his best days in the sport are very much a thing of the past.
And Bellew can’t believe he’ll be fighting Paul, expressing a belief the former YouTuber can’t help himself.
“Of course the world is full of freaks and people want to watch this nonsense,” the Briton told talkSPORT.
“Who would want to watch Mike Tyson get in the ring at this age? He is one of my heroes and an icon of the sport.
“This egotistical clown demanded that this goes on Mike Tyson’s actual professional record. He wasn’t happy with it being an exhibition.
“How saddening is that? You are going to read names like Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis on his record, legendary names.
“And then you are going to read Jake Paul, it is sad, it is so so sad. But I get it.
“It is about money, I can’t knock it from Mike’s perspective, I know everyone has a price. But just have it as an exhibition.”
Bellew also hopes Tyson beats Paul.
“Jake you couldn’t have carried this man’s jock strap when he was professional.
“It is so sad if you inflict a professional KO loss on his record at his age.
“The only thing I hope for is that Tyson has one last decent punch in him, clips him and he goes out like a light.

“Imagine getting knocked out by a 60-year-old fella mate.”
After Paul beat Perry over the weekend, the American said he was eager to beat Tyson and silence his critics in the process.
“Mike Tyson is training, he’s back, looking crazier than ever,” he said.
“I’m going to get another KO and prove everyone wrong once again.

“Everyone said I was an idiot for taking this fight, that I was risking it but this is why I’m here, I take big risks.
“Mike, I love you but this is my sport now.
“You’re a legend, you’re one of the two most famous boxers ever to live, you and Muhammad Ali.
“It’s an honour to get in the ring with you. I’m so, so honoured; you’re a legend, but I’m going to take your throne.”
