Tensions rose to a fever pitch at the weigh-in ahead of the highly anticipated boxing fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, which will take place at 1am on Saturday, broadcast on Netflix in Portugal. During their one-on-one confrontation, “Iron Mike” lost his temper and slapped Jake Paul after he stepped on his foot.
Jake Paul, known for his provocative temperament, reacted immediately: “I didn’t even feel it. He’s an angry little elf. I thought it was the sweetest snap, but Mike, tomorrow you’re going to get knocked out. I’m going to blow him up, he hits like a bitch. Now it’s personal, he has to die!” shouted the YouTuber into the microphone, further intensifying the pre-fight atmosphere.
The fight promises to be explosive, with both fighters weighing practically the same: Jake Paul weighed 103 kg, while Mike Tyson, despite being 31 years older, weighed 103.6 kg on the scale.
