Jake Paul declares Mike Tyson “must die” after slapping him during weigh-ins
Jake Paul has declared that Mike Tyson “must die” after the boxing legend slapped him during their weigh-ins last night.
In just a matter of hours, Mike Tyson will take on Jake Paul in an utterly insane boxing showdown at AT&T Stadium. The two will meet in Arlington, Texas and, in truth, nobody really knows how it’s going to go. Paul is seen by many as the favorite, but in equal measure, this is one of the best heavyweights in the history of the sport we’re talking about here.
During the weigh-ins, things got pretty intense. After Paul appeared to stand on the feet of Tyson, ‘Iron Mike’ unloaded with a slap on ‘The Problem Child’. As you can imagine, Paul wasn’t too pleased, and he made his feelings perfectly clear.
Jake Paul issues warning to Mike Tyson
“I didn’t even feel it,” Paul said moments after Tyson slapped him. “He’s angry, he’s an angry little elf. Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap buddy, but tomorrow you’re gonna get knocked the f–k out. I’m f–king him up, I’m f–king him up. He hits like a bitch. It’s personal now. It’s personal now. He must die.”

At this point, all of the talk surrounding this fight doesn’t really matter. Even if you think it’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever seen, Jake Paul is still going to do everything in his power to knock Mike Tyson out cold. The veteran, meanwhile, wants to have one more moment in the sunshine.
In terms of how it will actually go down, it’s very, very hard to tell. Paul has the cardio and the youth necessary alongside a great power punching ability, but if there’s one thing we know about boxers, it’s that the power is the last thing to – so Tyson could have a chance.
