Mike Tyson punches Jake Paul in wild final showdown: ‘He has to die!’

Mike Tyson punches Jake Paul in wild final showdown: ‘He has to die!’

IRVING, Texas – Clap!

All that’s left for Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are the fights after the two men stepped on the scale and faced off on Thursday at the ceremonial weigh-in ahead of their boxing match.

Tyson, 58, weighed 228.4 pounds for the heavyweight fight. Paul tipped the scale at 227.2. Afterwards, Paul and Tyson faced off one last time, and things certainly came to a head when Tyson punched Paul in the face, prompting members of each man’s team to intervene.

Moments later, Tyson had only this to say: “The conversation is over.”

Paul accepted the blow casually, but it also seemed to light a fire within him.

‘I didn’t even feel it. He’s angry. He’s an angry little elf,” Paul said. “Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute punch, buddy, but tomorrow you’re going to get the fuck knocked out. … It’s personal now! He has to die!”

In the video above, you can see Paul and Tyson step on the scale and stare at each other.

Paul vs. Tyson, which has been in the works for months after one cancellation, will headline a Netflix boxing event at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Friday. The card is headlined by a highly anticipated rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.

The preliminary card of Paul vs. Tyson kicks off at 5:30 PM ET, while the main card starts at 8:00 PM ET. Anyone with a Netflix subscription can watch the event.
