Iron Mike spent time last year helping Ngannou bridge the gap from MMA to boxing ahead of his ring debut against Tyson Fury.
And he got an inside look into Tyson and backed the American great to make easy work of Paul – who is over 30 years younger.
Ngannou said: “I think Tyson will still beat his ass up.
“He’s definitely not as he was when he was young but when he moves around you and shows you something, you’re like, ‘What the hell is this?’
“That’s something that people don’t understand about Mike Tyson. He moves from your left to your right in the blink of an eye.”
Tyson, 58, was due to face Paul, 27, on July 20 but he was forced to pull out amid a health precaution after a stomach ulcer flared up.
Now he is preparing for his first professionally sanctioned bout since 2005, despite an exhibition comeback in 2020 against Roy Jones Jr.
Tyson was in the gym with Ngannou, 37, last year before the crossover boxing clash against Fury, 36.

Jake Paul left ‘s—ing himself’ after being forced to separate giants Francis Ngannou and Renan Ferreira ahead of MMA clash
Ngannou faces 6ft 8in Brazilian Renan Ferreia, 37, in Saudi Arabia in his first MMA fight back since 2022.
Paul hosted the Professional Fighters League press conference and had the terrifying job of facing off the giant heavyweight pair.
But Ngannou hardly noticed.
He said: “Jake Paul is not our weight class, we barely noticed that he was there! Other than the moment I walked in and shook his hand.
“But face-to-face to each other, when I looked into his eyes when I was looking up, I did not see Jake Paul at all. He wasn’t in my line.”
