Mike Tyson slapped the sh*t out of Jake Paul during their final face-off before fight night.

On November 15, Tyson and Paul will finally step inside the ring for one of the most anticipated boxing bouts of the year. The ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ will be competing in his first professional fight in nearly 20 years when he meets the YouTube star inside the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

24 hours before their showdown in The Lone Star State, Tyson and Paul went face-to-face during the ceremonial weigh-ins and things nearly popped off between the two of them.

Paul stepped on stage and immediately got into Tyson’s face. That prompted ‘Iron’ to unleash a slap that would have made Da Crazy Hawaiian proud. The incident prompted a near-brawl with security and both teams rushing in to intervene.

Fortunately, the chaos was quickly quelled, and Tyson was carted off the stage by his entourage without further incident.

“Talking’s over,” Tyson said before leaving the stage during the ceremonial weigh-ins.

Paul was taken aback by the blow but maintained his smile before getting in the mic and issuing a dire warning to the former heavyweight world champion.

“I didn’t even feel it,” Paul said. “He’s angry. He’s an angry little elf. Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap buddy but tomorrow, you’re getting knocked the f*ck out. I’m f*cking him up! He hits like a b*tch. It’s personal now. He must die!.”

Jake Paul is gonna come out drippin’ swag on Fight Night.

In a matter of hours, ‘The Problem Child’ will make his 12th career walk to the ring for a high-stakes scrap with former undisputed heavyweight world champion and ‘Baddest Man on the Planet,’ Mike Tyson.

Emanating from the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Paul vs. Tyson is expected to be one of the most watched bouts in combat sports history — due in large part to the fight airing live on Netflix to the streaming giants’ 280 million subscribers worldwide.

And if you’re gonna have hundreds of millions of people potentially watching you, you gotta look the part.

During a recent appearance on the Talk Tuah podcast, Paul claimed that his walkout outfit on Friday is the most expensive fight night gear ever crafted, costing a whopping $1 million.

“This outfit I’ve made for the fight is the most expensive fight outfit in the history of boxing,” Paul revealed. “It’s $1 million.

He continued, “It cost a pretty penny and it’s very shiny. That’s the hints I will give. But for the walkout, I’m gonna be driving in a certain vehicle to the ring, which is gonna be pretty cool. But the rest you’re gonna have to wait and see. The song is sort of related to Mike Tyson’s career and a film that he did.”

Jake Paul dropped 200k on a pair of diamond-spiked ear covers to troll Mike Tyson.

27 years ago, Tyson notoriously bit Evander Holyfield on both of his ears during their rematch on June 28, 1997. Tyson was disqualified following the end of the third round and the incident went on to become one of the most controversial moments in sports history.

Nearly three decades later, ‘The Problem Child’ used the infamous incident to take a dig at Tyson during their final press conference before stepping inside the ring on Friday night.

“I’m not getting my sh*t bit off on Friday night,” Paul told Tyson before showing off his expensive jewelry from VOBARA. “So I got my diamond-spiked ear covers right there.”

Paul probably didn’t have to drop six-figures to make a joke about something that happened when he was only six months old, but doing anything on a reasonable scale just isn’t his style.

Check out the full fight card below:

• Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson (heavyweight)
• Katie Taylor(c) vs. Amanda Serrano (undisputed women’s super-lightweight championship)
• Mario Barrios(interim) vs. Abel Ramos (WBC welterweight championship)
• Shadasia Green vs. Melinda Watpool (vacant women’s WBO super-middleweight championship)

Card subject to change.

Despite giving up a 31-year advantage to his opponent, Mike Tyson is feeling good about his chances against YouTube star Jake Paul.

Nearly 20 years removed from his last professional boxing bout, the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ will return to the ring for a showdown with ‘The Problem Child’ inside the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The full card — including a highly anticipate rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano — will air live on Netflix on Friday, November 15 to the streaming giants’ 280 million subscribers around the world.

Much of the hype, or if we’re being honest, tension surrounding the fight has focused on the insane age gap between the two combatants. Tyson will be 58 years old when he enters the ring while Paul is still a few years away from turning 30.

But despite that significant difference, Tyson is feeling quite confident in his ability to go toe-to-toe with Paul, though he did admit that sparring early on was quite the challenge — especially when paired with people who could emulate Paul’s stamina.

“Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, I boxed eight rounds,” Tyson told Manouk Akopyan while discussing his training. “I’m sparring young guys, 30, 27 years old, and they’re hitting me hard. It wasn’t a picnic when I first started training. They gave me a real shellacking at first.”

The last time Tyson competed in a professional boxing match was in June 2005 when he suffered a sixth-round TKO loss against Kevin McBride. Asked how he believes he has improved despite now being 20 years older, Tyson said:

“I was a different person then. I was, you know, into narcotics and alcohol. I’m not that person anymore. I see a better picture of myself now. I see light, I see the world from a different perspective.”

He continued, “Time changes, man. I was a different person back then, doing different things. It’s time for me to come back. The world’s been anticipating my comeback since the Roy Jones Jr. exhibition. They just gave me the opportunity, and, I don’t know, I wanted to do it again.”

Mike Tyson Appreciates Your Concern, but it won’t change anything

In 2020, Tyson returned to the ring for an exhibition boxing match with Jones Jr. inside the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Tyson and RJJ fought to an eight-round draw that night, but of course, an exhibition bout is far different than a fight that goes on your permanent record.

Even with some slight rule changes — including two-minute rounds instead of three and the use of 14-ounce gloves instead of the more traditional 10-ouncers — pundits are concerned that Tyson could suffer serious damage against Paul, who has proven himself to be quite the heavy-hitter inside the squared circle.

“I don’t know,” Tyson said when asked about the concerns surrounding his return to the ring. “Thank you very much for being concerned, but I’m here.”
