Mike Tyson turned his face-off with Jake Paul violent when he slapped the YouTuber hours before they take to the ring for their controversial fight
Mike Tyson slapped Jake Paul as the rivals faced off for the final time ahead of their fight on Friday.
Tyson slapped Paul in his face as the YouTuber recoiled before insisting he barely felt the blow. "I didn't even feel it, he's angry. He's an angry little elf and he's getting knocked the f*** out. I'm f***ing knocking him out. He hits like a b****. It's personal now; he must die." Tyson, who scaled 228.4lb at Thursday morning's weigh-in while Paul weighed in at 227.2lb, said simply: "It's time".
Paul weighed 200lb when he fought Mike Perry in July after the bare-knuckle boxer stepped in to replace Tyson when he postponed his own fight with Paul. The legendary heavyweight had suffered an inflamed ulcer on a flight and collapsed before coughing up blood, forcing him to push back his ring return to this week.
