We are getting ever closer to Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul, the Netflix event that is proving to be the fight of the year from an interest level.
Before we get to see the two boxers take the ring live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday, we witnessed the two stars meet one another at the live weigh-in event. After Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano were incredibly respectful to one another in anticipation of their second bout, perhaps fans believed similar respect would be shared between Tyson and Paul. That was not the case.
Here is everything you need to know about what happened at the weigh-in.

Tyson slaps Jake Paul at the weigh-ins
Although Jake Paul is known for being antagonistic, Mike Tyson started things off hot, slapping Paul as the two squared off at the weigh-ins. In all fairness, Paul didn’t seem to be taking Tyson seriously, crawling to the square off after the official weights were announced.
After Tyson left the stage, Paul claimed that he “didn’t feel it.” Paul claimed the fight was “personal now,” and said that “[Tyson] must die.”
