He gave Paul a preview at Thursday&#8217;s weigh-in.<\/p>\n<p>After Tyson weighed in at 233 pounds, he approached Paul for the final stare-down before Friday&#8217;s clash at AT&amp;T Stadium. Paul, who weighed a career-high 220 pounds, darted forward from a crawling stance to get up close and personal to the former heavyweight champion.<\/p>\n<p>In response to Paul, 27, entering his personal space, Tyson unleashed an open-handed slap that connected flush on Paul&#8217;s face. The two were quickly separated by security as Paul played to the crowd, mocked Tyson and laughed at his opponent.<\/p>\n<p>A source close to Tyson told ESPN that Tyson reacted to Paul &#8220;purposefully&#8221; stepping on his foot during the stare-down. Tyson was fed up with Paul&#8217;s trash talk, according to the source, and stepping on his foot was the tipping point for Tyson.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline editorial float-r\" data-behavior=\"article_related\">\n<h2 class=\"editorial-title\">Editor&#8217;s Picks<\/h2>\n<p>2 Related<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Tyson was escorted away while Paul addressed the crowd, saying, &#8220;It&#8217;s personal now. He must die!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tyson&#8217;s demeanor has shifted over the past several days. He was talkative during Tuesday&#8217;s open workouts but appeared much more subdued at Wednesday&#8217;s news conference, offering short answers to questions from the media. By Thursday, he seemed to have had enough of the talking and was ready for action.<\/p>\n<p>How that translates to Friday&#8217;s bout is anyone&#8217;s guess, but the slap has only heightened anticipation for the generational clash between the iconic boxer and the YouTuber-turned-prizefighter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/boxing\/story\/_\/id\/42397251\/mike-tyson-slaps-jake-paul-face-final-staredown\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andreas Hale, ESPNNov 14, 2024, 09:17 PM ET DALLAS &#8212; Mike Tyson said that &#8220;the devil himself&#8221; would show up on Friday night in his boxing match against Jake Paul. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=126096\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-126096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=126096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126096\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=126096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=126096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=126096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
