But Tyson couldn’t seem to wait to lay hands on Paul, as he ultimately caved to the YouTuber’s wind-up antics.

They had their weigh-in. Then they had their last head-to-head. The 27-year-old crawled across the floor. He then rose himself up to meet the eye-line of ‘Kid Dynamite’.
And when he did get up, he stepped a little on his opponent’s foot. Tyson had evidently had enough. He slapped Paul across the face. It seemed like he was going for another jab. Then a bit of a brawl broke out. The 58-year-old’s camp swarmed him to put a stop to it.
He was quickly surrounded as the YouTuber continued to be a bit of a wind-up and amped up the crowd.
“I didn’t even feel it,” Paul said of the hit. “He’s angry, he’s an angry little elf.
“Mike Tyson I thought that was a cute slap buddy but tomorrow you’re getting knocked the f**k out.”
Oh, then things became more intense. The YouTuber shouted his warning to Tyson through the mic.
“I’m f**king him up, he hits like a b**ch. It’s personal now, it’s personal now, he must die,” Paul screamed.
Jake Paul said he’s now going to KILL Mike Tyson for slapping him in the face off
Users on X said: “Telling a [near] 60-year-old legend ‘he must die’ is wild.”
Another wrote: “Jake comes in emotional swinging for the fences and gassed out. Mike knows what he’s doing. Emotional fighters don’t perform well.”
Others said the ‘slap’ had ‘spun Paul’s whole neck around’ with some predicting: “Tyson is going to knock him out.”
But of course, fans are backing Paul too.

Well, either way, I’m sure these antics and dramatics might help the boxer. They could shift a few more tickets for the 80,000 capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
And if not, someone has bought a $2million package to be there in person. Plenty of us can just stream the live fight on Netflix instead.
The undercard is set to begin at 8pm eastern time (ET) on Friday. For UK viewers, this is 1am GMT on Saturday.
Oh, and if you’re a Netflix subscriber, you don’t have to worry about any extra PPV fee.Featured Image Credit: Netflix
