We are getting very close to the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul Netflix event. It could be the most interesting fight event of the entire year.
These two boxers meet one another at the live weigh-in event at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Friday.
Tyson and Paul needed to be separated from each other on Thursday night after the former heavyweight champ slapped the 27-year-old right across the face.
Tyson had just completed his weigh-in and he came in at 228.4 Pounds. Meanwhile, Paul is at 227.2 Pounds.
Then Tyson approached Paul for their final staredown before the challenging fight. At that moment, Paul crawled up to his face.
Paul got a little closer, and Tyson threw an open right hand. Jake Paul took it like a champ as many people held Tyson back.
After that, Tyson told Ariel Helwani that all the talks were over, and he walked off after the incident. To this incident, Paul responded that Tyson must die.
In all fairness, didn’t seem to be Tyson taking so much seriously. After Tyson left the stage, Paul declared that he didn’t feel that. He also claimed that the fight was “personal now”.
Paul was supposed to be the one who pushed the buttons, he called Tyson “boring” during Wednesday night’s Press Conference.
Tyson was last seen professionally in the ring in 2005 and later stepped into the ring for an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. He was suffering from a stomach ulcer that postponed the originally scheduled July fight.
Paul boasts a 10-1 record and is facing questions regarding fighting opponents over 30 years his senior. To this question, Paul responded that Tyson wanted the match to be professional.
He added that he is not going to pass up the opportunity to fight the GOAT of boxing.
