Fight fans worldwide have been up in arms about the booking of the fight due to the staggering 31-YEAR age difference between Tyson and Paul.
Tyson, however, has convinced some boxing fans that he'll pull off a huge upset with his hulking frame and ferocious pad work.
But former WBC super-middleweight king Froch has sensationally claimed the former undisputed heavyweight champion has no chance of winning the Dallas dust-up.
He told : "I think it's a scripted fight and will last three or four rounds.

"Jake Paul will definitely win; Tyson might start well but then he'll fall over.
"Paul can't lose. It's in the contract, he can't lose. He is a useless w****r."
The once-destructive and ferocious Tyson is regarded by many to be one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.
But Froch insists Paul will have nothing to harp on about if he pummels the near-pensioner-aged Tyson.

Tyson will have eight two-minute rounds to become the first man to knock out Problem Child Paul.
Froch said of the bout: '"It's pathetic, it's two-minute rounds.
"Professional boxing is three-minute rounds, and Jake Paul, to my knowledge, doesn't have a pro licence.
"Maybe he does, and maybe he could get hold of one. He could be a journeyman on the circuit at best.
