Mike Tyson punched Jake Paul for stepping on his foot as their pre-fight weigh-in boiled over.

Seemingly out of nowhere, Tyson punched Paul in the face at the event in Las Colinas, Texas, ahead of their boxing match on Friday at AT&T Stadium.

Paul replied, “He hits like a bitch… He must die.”

Tyson claims not to have even heard him.

The punch was Tyson’s reaction when Paul stepped on his toe, which he said was on purpose.

“I had my socks on and he had shoes on,” Tyson told The Post shortly after the weigh-in. “He stepped on my toe because he’s a big asshole. I wanted to think it happened by accident. But now I think it might have been done on purpose.

“I was in a lot of pain. I had to give an answer.”

When asked what he would say to his 27-year-old enemy now if they were together, Tyson replied sharply: “The talking is over.”

A representative for Tyson told The Post: “Jake has been poking the bear the entire time. Mike beat the shit out of him.”

In the ring on Friday night, he predicts he will do the same.

When asked if he wanted to kick Paul’s ass, Tyson simply replied: “Yes!”

As for his take on the YouTube star, Tyson made it clear.

“He’s more of a clown than an entertainer,” said the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion. ‘He’s a clown. He has to stop playing.”

As for his mindset ahead of fight night, which will be streamed on Netflix, and what will happen in the ring against his much younger opponent, Tyson – who hasn’t fought in an official match for 19 years – said: “I won’t do it.” I don’t have to worry about anything except winning.”
