The stage is set for one of the most talked-about boxing events of the year as Mike Tyson and Jake Paul prepare to face off. During Thursday's ceremonial weigh-ins, tensions boiled over in dramatic fashion, escalating the anticipation for their heavyweight clash.
Tyson, 58, hit the scales at 228.4 pounds, while Paul weighed in slightly lighter at 227.2 pounds. Following the weigh-in, the two fighters engaged in a fiery faceoff that took an unexpected turn. Tyson delivered a slap to Paul's face, triggering chaos as both camps rushed to separate the fighters.
As the dust settled, Tyson issued a stern declaration: "Talk is over."
Paul, seemingly unfazed by the slap, used the moment to fuel his determination.
"I didn't even feel it," Paul said defiantly. "He's angry—he’s just an angry little elf. Mike Tyson, that slap was cute, but tomorrow, you're getting knocked out. It’s personal now. He must die!"
The tension-filled exchange has only added to the excitement surrounding the bout, which headlines a Netflix boxing event at the iconic AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, in Arlington, Texas.
The event also features a co-main event with a highly anticipated rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, promising fans a night of unforgettable action.
As fans eagerly await Friday’s showdown, the rivalry between Tyson and Paul has reached its boiling point, setting the stage for an electrifying battle in the ring.
