Tyson Slaps Paul During Final Face-Off
Mike Tyson slapped Jake Paul at a charged weigh-in for Friday’s controversial heavyweight fight in Texas.
Novice boxer Paul, 27, will take on 58-year-old Tyson at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
After both men had weighed in, Paul crawled across the floor before rising up to Tyson’s eyeline for the traditional final head-to-head.
Tyson had refused to engage with Paul’s goading for much of fight week, but slapped his opponent across the face, prompting security and team members to rush in to separate the fighters.
Talking’s over, Tyson said and walked off stage. Paul, meanwhile, was smiling before sitting down and appearing to meditate.
“I didn’t even feel it. He’s angry. He’s an angry little elf,” Paul said of the slap.
“Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap, buddy, but tomorrow you’re getting knocked out.”
I think Tyson just wanted to warm up and try to see if he can still perform.
“To my little experience paul is just too young to face Tyson imagine a 27 years old to fight a 58 years man Tyson may think he his still strong as before but it not like that as a legend he didn’t need to go back to the ring again almost everyone in the world liked Tyson base on his skill and record he has but not his not there anymore i wished him best of luck” said Jamiu Ogunshe VON correspondence.
