The lead-up to the highly anticipated Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight reached a boiling point on Thursday when Tyson slapped Paul during their final staredown, prompting security to separate the two.
The clash occurred after Tyson, weighing in at 228.4 pounds to Paul’s 227.2, reacted to Paul getting too close by throwing an open right hand.
Despite the altercation, Paul remained composed, later declaring, “he must die.”
The incident marked a dramatic shift in tone for Tyson, who had been calm throughout the promotion, despite Paul’s taunts. The fight will take place Friday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, streaming live on Netflix.
