Jake Paul was slammed by Mike Tyson for acting like a fool during the face-off weigh-in Thursday ahead of their eight-round fight this Friday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) crouched down in the football stance and rushed at Tyson, and was met with a hard slap to the left side of his face. The slap left a large red mark on the left side of Jake’s face, and left him.

Jake wanted to be spanked again
He immediately pointed to his ugly goatee, inviting Tyson to hit him even harder, which suggested he wanted more pain. Something weird, I guess, or maybe Jake was trying to get out of the fight by suffering an injury. Hard to know with someone like that. He’s not a boxer, so you can’t imagine someone like that.
The slap was well deserved because Jake came at the former heavyweight champion with his bare hands the striped bear on the ground, leaving Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) with no choice but to slap the taste out of his mouth.
Tyson, 58, had no idea what Paul was going to do when he charged like a bull. It was either slap Jake or punch, and Tyson chose the former so as not to put the fight in jeopardy.
I don’t know what the bear crawl from Jake Paul was about. Was it a move to insult Tyson to mock him for secretly saying he felt he wasn’t a man? Whatever, Jake what came to him with slap. It was Jake trying to dehumanize me Mike Tyson with the bear bite? If it had been me, I would have done the same thing to Paul. They had to pull me off him if he came crawling towards me.
“I didn’t even feel it. He’s an angry little elf,” Jake Paul said when interviewed after the slap in the ring. “Mike Tyson, I thought it was a nice slap, but tomorrow night, you’re going to get slapped.”
Jake was upset about being slapped or punched by Mike. It’s just lucky that Tyson didn’t bite off one of his ears because that would have ruined the diamond studded earrings he was sporting during the final press conference.
