Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will be locking horns in the squared circle Friday night (November 15) in a bout that will draw plenty of views as the former heavyweight champion takes on a much younger fighter. During the mandatory faceoff for photo opportunities, Mike Tyson gave Jake Paul a little smack on the cheek to let him know what will be in store for tonight.
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul were in Texas at the weigh-in ahead of their super fight bout that will be held at the AT&T Stadium, which will air live on Netflix. As custom for most combat sporting events, Tyson and Paul greeted each other in the stare-down segment after the weigh-in with all the theatrics fighters used to intimidate or size up their opponents.
In a video clip that has since gone viral, Paul rushed Tyson and crowded his space, prompting Iron Mike to unleash five fingers to the face in yet another slap heard around the world. The pair were quickly separated with a smiling Paul mocking Tyson at the moment.
According to a report from ESPN, a Tyson insider claims that Paul stepped on Tyson’s foot during the faceoff and had enough of the trash talk with the footstepping being a final straw.
For what it’s worth, Tyson, 58, weighed in at a fit 233 pounds with Paul, 27, weighing in at 220. To date, this is the largest gap in age between two fighters in professional boxing history.
Tyson, who boasts a record of 50-6 with 44 knockouts, has not fought professionally in 19 years. Tyson has participated in a pair of exhibition fights, including clashing with Roy Jones Jr. Paul’s last fight came last July with a sixth-round stoppage of Mike Perry by TKO.
The Friday night bout between “Iron” Mike Tyson and Jake Paul kicks off on Netflix at 8 PM EST. Learn more here.
