The highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson took a dramatic turn during the weigh-in, when Tyson slapped Paul, sparking a heated exchange and capturing the attention of the world. The incident quickly went viral, generating immense buzz and fueling the anticipation for the fight.
Paul's mother was visibly upset after witnessing the physical altercation between Tyson and her son. She responded with a fiery outburst, declaring, “I’m gonna kill Mike Tyson for you, f** little b.” Her reaction showcased the raw emotions and protectiveness that parents feel towards their children, especially in a situation like this.
However, in a lighter moment after the altercation, Paul and his mother shared a hug. Paul lightheartedly quipped, “You slap harder than him,” eliciting laughter from both. This lighthearted exchange serves as a reminder that amidst the intensity of the situation, family bonds remain strong and humor can be a powerful coping mechanism.
The match between former heavyweight champion Tyson and YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul has been rescheduled for Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The fight was originally slated for July but was delayed due to Tyson experiencing a stomach ulcer. Despite the four-month delay, Tyson has expressed confidence in his chances.
The fight will be sanctioned as a professional fight with modifications by the state of Texas. Several other states declined to sanction the bout due to the age difference between the fighters. Tyson, 58, last fought in 2005. Paul is 27. The fight will be eight rounds, with each round lasting two minutes. Heavier gloves than usual will be worn, as per the modified rules.
This event marks Netflix's first venture into combat sports and will be streamed on the platform. The event will also feature a rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano for the undisputed super welterweight title. The Tyson-Paul fight is generating significant attention and is set to be a major spectacle in the world of boxing.
