Mike Tyson punches Jake Paul during the weigh-in before the Netflix boxing match

Mike Tyson didn’t wait to enter the boxing ring to give fans a taste of what his match against Jake Paul will entail.

The legendary boxer is coming out of retirement to face YouTuber boxer Paul on Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which will be streamed on Netflix.

During their weigh-in on Thursday night, Tyson punched Paul when he came face to face with him. It’s unclear what sparked the physical altercation, but chaos ensued soon after as people tried to stop Tyson. Paul appeared to mock Tyson by lightly punching him on the cheek. It should be an interesting fight, to say the least.

Paul trash talked to Tyson some more after the punch. His NSFW insults got quite heated.

“I didn’t even feel it,” Paul said. “He’s angry. He’s an angry elf. Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute punch, buddy, but tomorrow you’re going to get the fuck knocked out. I’m fucking him!” He hits like a b—- It’s personal now! He must die!

Paul has achieved an impressive record during his young boxing career, winning 10 of his 11 matches. He has had seven knockouts and he predicted last month that he expects to knock out Tyson on Friday.

During Tyson’s long boxing career, which officially ended in 2005, he won 50 of 58 bouts, 44 of which ended in knockouts. The 58-year-old last took part in an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020.
