Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson
Jake Paul hit a career-heaviest weight of 227.2lb for his upcoming fight against heavyweight icon Mike Tyson. Tyson, who returns to the ring for a controversial comeback bout against the YouTuber-turned-boxer in Texas, weighed in at 228.4lb.
The Weigh-In Drama
Tyson, looking sensational in Versace briefs, and Paul, nearly two stone above his usual weight, squared off for the final time at the weigh-in. A near-brawl ensued when Tyson landed a slap on Paul, sparking chaos on the stage before the two camps and security intervened.
Tyson's Warning
As Paul walked off with an unconvincing roar, Tyson, calmed down by his entourage, sent out a final warning saying, "The talking's over." The 58-year-old boxing legend is set to face the 27-year-old Paul in what will be Netflix's first foray into live boxing.
Fight Details
The fight is scheduled for eight rounds of two minutes each, with bigger 14oz gloves instead of the usual 10oz. Despite the tension at the weigh-in, Paul laughed off Tyson's power, confidently stating, "Mike Tyson thought that was a cute slap, buddy but tomorrow you're getting knocked out."
