Iron Mike Tyson slapped the face of his challenger less than half his age in a weigh-in event yesterday.
FOX News reported last night:
In case you had any doubts about whether Jake Paul-Mike Tyson was real, all of those can be thrown out the window.
Tyson and Paul had to be separated on Thursday night after the former heavyweight champ smacked the 27-year-old right across the face.
Tyson had just completed his weigh-in, where he came in at 228.4 pounds – Paul is at 227.2. Tyson then approached Paul for their final staredown before the fight, and Paul crawled up to his face.
Paul got a little too close, and Tyson threw an open right hand. Paul took it like a champ as numerous people held Tyson back.
After the incident, Tyson said “all the talk is over” to Ariel Helwani and walked off. Paul responded, “he must die.”
It was by far the most contentious part of the entire ordeal, and very much unlike Tyson, who has been extremely mellow leading up to this event.
It appears upon a closer look, Paul stepped on Tyson’s foot right before Tyson slapped Paul.
so Jake Paul was crawling like a monkey and then stepped on Mike Tyson’s foot… pic.twitter.com/t2y9OJ1wK6
