Mike Tyson and Jake Paul clashed during their final stare-down at the weigh-in on November.
The confrontation unfolded when Jake Paul, weighing in at a career-high 220 pounds, provocatively crawled towards the legendary heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, who tipped the scales at 233 pounds.
As tensions escalated, Tyson responded to Paul's encroachment by delivering an open-handed slap across Paul's face.
This unexpected move prompted immediate intervention from security personnel to separate the two fighters. According to a source close to Tyson, the slap was triggered by Paul "purposefully" stepping on Tyson's foot, which was seen as the last straw after enduring Paul's relentless trash talk.
The incident has only intensified the anticipation surrounding this generational clash between the iconic boxer and the YouTuber-turned-prizefighter.
In the aftermath of the altercation, Paul taunted Tyson further, declaring to the crowd, "It's personal now. He must die!"
