Yet that didn't seem to sit too well with the 59-year-old, who seemed baffled by his fellow pundit's comments.

"I don't think so," he said with a surprised expression.

Tyson actually bit Holyfield's ear twice during their 1997 clash. After going back for more, Iron Mike was forced to pay the price with the contest stopped in dramatic circumstances.

He was utterly enraged in the aftermath, with the heavyweight star charging at his opponent - and his trainer, Tommy Brooks.

But Holyfield did recently warn Paul that Tyson has every chance of reigning supreme.

He urged his rival to stay out of Tyson's reach, something that will be no easy feat - despite the 58-year-old's age.

“If he stays close to Mike then his chance of winning is going to be great," he added.

"But if he tries to stay back from Mike he’s going to get caught.

"Mike is like a snake. He’ll pop out on you. He gets there too quick. But if you charge him, you’re going to smother him.

“He pushes off his legs so he’s too close, but if you give him room everybody gets knocked out going backwards. Give him room and you’re gonna be messed up.”
