The UFC President spoke to Mike Tyson on his podcast, ‘Hotboxin with Mike Tyson’ and said, “I’m interested too. He talks a lot of sh*t.” He added, “We’re going to find out here pretty soon. Let me tell one thing, I hope you can bet on this thing. Because I’ll bet a million dollars that he loses this f**king fight.”

This comment showed how confident the UFC President is about the outcome of this fight. Many experts have suggested that Paul is the favorite since it is a boxing match. However, White has surprisingly shown his backing for the former UFC fighter.
