What did the five fingers say to the face?
During the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul ceremonial weigh-ins today (Thurs., Nov 14, 2024), Paul got into Tyson’s face and got slapped immediately. Security quickly grabbed Tyson before anything else happened.
Watch the slap seen across the world below:

After the tension settled down a little bit, Tyson was asked about his emotions and simply said, “Talk is over,” and then refused to talk about him slapping “El Gallo.”
Paul, on the other hand, clowned the Heavyweight legend.

“I didn’t even feel it,” Paul said. “He’s angry. He’s an angry little elf. Mike Tyson, that was a cute little slap, buddy, but tomorrow you’re getting knocked the f—k out. I’m f—king him up. He hits like a b-tch. It’s personal now. It’s personal now. He must die.”
I guess if you weren’t planning on watching the historic Netflix broadcast, maybe this slap sold you.
Indeed, the heavyweight boxing legend Tyson, 58, finally battles YouTuber-turned boxer, Paul, 27, tomorrow night (Fri., Nov. 15, 2024) from inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, streaming live on Netflix.
“Iron Mike” is locked and loaded and looks great.
