Jake Paul said he would “kill” Mike Tyson in the ring in response to a slap (video)
Weigh-in ceremony before the fight between boxing legend Mike Tyson and popular blogger Jake Paul came out far beyond the boundaries of the usual event, turning into a real show. During the ceremony, 58-year-old Tyson unexpectedly punched Paul, which caused a wave of outrage and chaos on the stage. Security and members of the teams literally rushed to stretch the two opponents, while Tyson, known for his imperturbability, defiantly threw only one phrase: “The conversation is over“, and left the stage.
Jake Paul, who is only 27 years old, did not stand aside: he sarcastically called Tyson an “evil little elf” and confidently promised to “destroy” him in the ring. “He must die“, Paul exclaimed, adding fuel to the fire.

This fight is not like an ordinary sports match: it unites two different eras and even worlds. Tyson, who was feared by the best boxers in the world in the 80s, will face Paul, a social media star who only started boxing a few years ago. For the show at AT&T Stadium in Texas, both will receive decent fees — $40 million for Paul and $20 million for Tyson.
What awaits the audience? The fight will take place in the format of eight two-minute rounds, and the fighters will wear special gloves, slightly softer than usual, which will make the fight a little safer. For those who aren’t boxing fans, this is a chance to see an extraordinary show where the young and brash Paul takes on one of the most feared fighters of all time.
The fight between Tyson and Paul is not just a sports event, but a spectacular show with scandals, bright statements and passion that has long gone beyond the sports arena.
