Mike Tyson punches Jake Paul in the final showdown before the Netflix fight

Mike Tyson couldn’t wait to put on the gloves and take a shot at upcoming opponent Jake Paul, punching the social media influencer turned boxer in the face as they approached each other during Thursday’s (November 14) weigh-in in Arlington, Texas.

Former ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’, 58-year-old Tyson, returns to the ring for his first professional fight in 19 years against ‘ultimate heel’ Paul in the highly anticipated showdown at AT&T Stadium on Friday.

There was no love lost between the two when Tyson, who weighed 103.6kg, approached Paul and immediately punched the 27-year-old in the face and made a two-word televised comment before leaving the stage: “The talking is over.”
