Mike Tyson Slaps Jake Paul Ahead of Fight, Boxers Had to Be Separated in Face Off
In the event of their face-off, Mike Tyson and Jake Paul got into a brief, heated confrontation that shocked the audience. According to several clips that went viral on social media, Paul was seen to be crawling up to the floor and began to size up Tyson, who immediately slapped Paul in his left cheek, before being separated from the boxer.
After the slap, when the chaos winded down, Tyson was asked for a quick word.
The host inquired, "Mike can I ask, the world is excited to see you one last time perhaps, can you just tell us the emotions and thoughts that are going trough your mind right now?"
Tyson simply said, "Talking's over," before heading out off the stage.
Paul was then interviewed, "Jake, he says the talk is over. You just felt his power, what did that feel like and why did he do that to you?"
However, Paul decided to show himself unaffected by Tyson's sudden slap. "I didn't even feel it," the boxer said. "He's angry, he's an angry little elf, Mike Tyson, I thought that was the cutest slap buddy, but tomorrow you're gonna knock the f*** out."
Paul then shouted, "I'm f****** him up! He hits like a b****, it's personal now! He must die!"
