It's just over a month till Floyd Mayweather makes his anticipated return to the boxing ring as he faces Conor McGregor. Ahead of the mega-fight, Mike Tyson has offered his prediction and he doesn't believe the UFC champion has a chance.

Following the wild world tour which saw both fighters take part in four entertaining press conferences around the globe, Mayweather and McGregor now turn their attention to training as they gear themselves for the bout being dubbed as the billion dollar fight.

While the Irishman is set to earn an incredible amount of money, the former undisputed heavyweight world champion feels the debuting boxer is going to get 'killed.'

"McGregor is going to get killed boxing," Tyson told Pardon My Take via Sports Illustrated.

Tyson then details his anger towards McGregor for succumbing to Mayweather's demands while mistakenly naming him 'McConor.'

"I got mad because I thought they were going to use MMA rules against boxing because that's what it's all about: Can the boxer beat the MMA guy? McConor put his dumba-- in a position where he's gonna get knocked out because this guy's been doing this all his life since he was a baby. McConor can't kick and grab and stuff so he won't stand much of a chance," he added.

Finishing the interview by saying, "McGregor took the biggest sucker rules in the history of boxing."

Not to mention saying he would allow McGregor to use kicks and knees if the two were to ever fight.

The 29-year-old will face severe ramifications should he deliver an MMA move, though he can use the superman punch.

Any brave souls picking McGregor? August 26th can't come soon enough.
