The weigh-in that took place this Thursday on the occasion of the fight that will take place in the early hours of Friday to Saturday at the AT&T Stadium in Texas was lit at the moment in which Mike Tyson slapped his rival, Jake Paul.
The 58-year-old former heavyweight champion, who has shown great physical shape, had remained calm until the weigh-in. “I have nothing more to say, I just want to fight,” Mike said at a press conference. No sooner said than done. When both boxers were going to confront each other, Jake Paul approached Tyson half crouching, He stomped on him and he didn’t take long to react.
It was at that moment that Tyson slapped him, leaving both Paul and the stupefied spectators. Tyson’s team, upon seeing what had happened, separated them so that things would not get any worse.
Tyson’s attack on his rival, 31 years younger, ignited the atmosphere of a circus-like fight between one of the greatest boxers in history, retired almost 20 years ago as a professional, and the irreverent man of the networks, with 10 wins, seven before the limit, and one defeat.
The combat has sparked criticism, but it is surrounded by expectations for the morbidity of seeing Tyson return to a young provocateur, also a mixed martial arts practitioner.
At the weigh-in, Paul warned that he would knock out Tyson and he responded to be calm because his rival, 27 years old, is in trouble.
Jake Paul stated after the weigh-in this Thursday that he did not feel the slap received by Mike Tyson hours during the weigh-in ceremony, and in a mocking tone he minimized the ability of ‘Iron’, with whom he will face on Friday in an exhibition fight.
“I didn’t even feel the blow. The guy is angry and now this has become a personal matter. He must die,” Paul said with apparent anger after the high-profile incident.
