Mike Tyson slaps his opponent ahead of the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight
On November 14, 2024, a day before the Friday night fight, the two men nearly came to blows at the weigh-in event that was broadcast live.
They arrived at the Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas, and stepped on the scale, with Paul weighing 227 pounds and Tyson weighing 228.4 pounds. After their official weigh-in, Iron Mike approached Paul for a final face-off and slapped him across the face before being separated by security personnel.
Instead of reacting angrily, Paul started laughing, clapping, and blowing kisses at his opponent. He later responded to the slap by saying:
"I didn't even feel it. He's an angry little elf. Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap, buddy, but tomorrow you're getting knocked the f**k out.... He must die."
Before Tyson stormed off the stage, he told journalist Ariel Helwani, "Talking is over."
