Boxing legend Mike Tyson could not keep his cool when facing Jake Paul, his opponent in the upcoming much-publicized boxing match.
The boxing world is eagerly awaiting the match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, scheduled to take place on the morning of November 16. This is the first time in nearly 20 years that Mike Tyson has participated in a professional boxing match.
On the evening of November 14 (US time), the two boxers attended the final press conference before the match. And even an event like this was pushed to a climax. After completing the weight measurement procedure, the two boxers went to the face-off. At this time, Jake Paul had a provocative action when he crawled on both hands and feet to get closer to Mike Tyson.
The boxing legend seemed angry and slapped the Youtuber in the face. Bodyguards had to immediately jump in to prevent a big fight from happening.
Before that, Mike Tyson appeared indifferent, barely saying anything during the press conference. After slapping his opponent, he was still reserved, only declaring that he was ready for the match.
On the other side of the battle line, the 27-year-old YouTuber with his inherently noisy nature constantly insulted and provoked Mike Tyson.
The boxing match between these two boxers has attracted a lot of attention and controversy. Mike Tyson is 58 years old this year and is 31 years older than Jake Paul . This is the largest age gap in the history of professional boxing.
Therefore, many people are concerned about Mike Tyson’s health as he is no longer as flexible and strong as he was 20 years ago. On the other side of the battle line, Jake Paul is a YouTuber but has also entered the boxing field since 2020.
Despite his 7 wins and 1 loss record, this boxer’s career is not highly regarded. His victories were all against non-boxers. Instead, they were wrestlers, MMA (mixed martial arts) fighters, and even basketball players.
Jake Paul’s only loss was to Tommy Fury, a professional boxer and younger brother of former world champion Tyson Fury.
