Mike Tyson is telling fans not to expect a quick knockout during Chris Brown and Soulja Boy’s boxing match. The professional boxer announced he’ll be training Brown for the celebrity bout, but said he thinks the fight will be a “tough one.”

Speaking to a TMZ photographer Friday, Tyson said the fight between Brown and Soulja Boy will go well beyond the first round. “I don’t think it’s gonna be a Chris Brown knockout,” he said. “I think they’re gonna be scrapping.”

Asked if he’ll be teaching the “Party” singer any “dirty tricks,” Tyson said it all depends on how Soulja Boy plans on fighting.

Tyson revealed in an Instagram video Sunday that he was going to train Brown to beat up Soulja Boy. “So it’s confirmed. I’m training Chris, he chose me as his trainer to take on Soulja Boy,” he said. “I’m gonna teach him how to bite somebody’s ear. Yeah, that’s right. I’m gonna teach him every dirty trick in the book to knock you out. I’m not going to teach him how to run.”

In addition to lending his boxing expertise, Tyson also took the opportunity to record a diss song aimed at the “Crank Dat” rapper. In the song, titled “If You Show Up,” Tyson raps about teaching Brown how to knock Soulja Boy out. Shortly after the song was released, the former “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” star took to Twitter to bash Tyson. “Who tf told Mike Tyson to get in the studio and rap with that lisp,” he posted. “Mike Tyson needs to stick to biting ears off and not rapping.”

Brown and Soulja Boy started feuding last week after Soulja Boy liked an Instagram photo Brown’s ex Karrueche Tran posted. According to the rapper, Brown called him and threatened him for admiring the sexy picture.
