Whether it was planned or not, Mike Tyson and Jake Paul’s dislike for each other has grown.
Tyson hit Paul with a punch during their weigh-in on Thursday, which went viral. Their fight is on Friday. Before the fight, Paul, who was wearing shoes, seemed to step on Tyson’s bare feet.
When Paul got to talk about the slap on stage, he said Tyson “must die” in a language-poor way.
Paul screamed into the mic, “I am f— him up!” “He really hits hard. It is now personal. He needs to die.
He is 58 years old and has fought 58 times. Of his 50 wins, 44 were by knockout. His last professional fight was in 2005.
Paul is 10-1, and his only loss was to Tommy Fury in 2023. He is 27 years younger than Tyson and 31 years younger than Fury.
The Tyson-Paul fight starts at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT)/5 p.m. ET. There are no plans to show it on TV; Netflix has the exclusive rights. People who already have a subscription can watch for free. A new subscription starts at $6.99 per month.
