Mike Tyson didn’t hold back when he came face-to-face with Jake Paul at their intense pre-fight face-off. Just moments after completing their weigh-ins, “Iron Mike” stunned the crowd and his opponent by landing a slap across Jake Paul’s face – a move caught on camera and quickly going viral.
The unexpected slap came after Tyson, who weighed in at 228.4 pounds compared to Paul’s 227.2, exchanged heated words with the social media star-turned-boxer.
As Jake, seemingly unfazed, gestured for Tyson to hit him again, Tyson responded by aiming another shot below the belt, which narrowly missed before officials stepped in to separate the two fighters.
Jake’s reaction to Tyson’s slap only fueled the tension, with fans buzzing about what’s to come in the ring. Tyson, who described the upcoming showdown as potentially “the biggest fight in history,” looked as fierce as ever, proving his iconic hand speed is still a force to be reckoned with.
Catch the highly anticipated clash this Friday night at 8 PM ET, streaming live on Netflix. With tensions already high, this showdown promises to deliver one of the most unforgettable moments in boxing!
