WWE legend Hulk Hogan backed Mike Tyson to beat Jake Paul despite his recent health scare because of the "bad dog look in his eye".

Tyson, 57, and Paul, 27, had to move the date of their fight after the boxing legend fell ill while flying from Miami to Los Angeles due to an ulcer flare up.

The bout is now scheduled for November 15 and will take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Hogan, 70, still believes Tyson will best the YouTuber as he still sees the same "scary" fighter he remembers from his prime years in the 80s and 90s.

The legendary professional wrestler insists the American is as focused as he was when he wreaked havoc across the boxing world and will "seek and destroy".

Hogan told TMZ: "When he gets focused, he will seek and destroy.

"I see that bad dog look in his eye now. It's like when you don't trust a bad dog, it might bite ya at any time.

"That's the look he's got. I remember that look from 25 years ago, it's kind of scary."

Hogan believes that the fight's postponement is a good thing because both competitors will be at "100 per cent".

The 12-time world champion even predicted this will be the "fight of the century" even though Tyson is almost 60 years old and Paul has only faced one professional boxer in Tommy Fury, who beat him.

Hogan added: "I'm excited about it. I'm kind of glad it's rescheduled because I don't want any excuses. I want both men at 100 per cent .

"And I've got a feeling this is gonna be the fight of the century, brothers. This is gonna be a good one."

Hogan dominated the wrestling scene in WWE and WCW when Tyson's boxing success made headlines around the globe.
