After publishing this blog, I’ve been stocking up on popcorn.
In the final showdown between the two in Friday’s boxing match, the legendary Mike Tyson slammed cultural sensation Jake Paul to eternal hell, prompting Paul to “expletive” about Tyson. “I have to die,” he said.
Tyson, 58, is scheduled to face Paul, 27, on Friday night in Dallas, Texas, in what will be Tyson’s first professional boxing match of the year. 19 years. (Related: Pistons’ Tim Hardaway Jr. leaves court in wheelchair after taking multiple shots to combat heat)
The night before the fight on Thursday, Tyson and Paul had their official weigh-in, but the fans were clearly on Tyson’s side and booed Paul. When it came time for the two to go head-to-head, Tyson delivered a slap to Paul, and security quickly separated the two.
After Tyson slapped Paul, he told host Ariel Helwani, “I’m done talking.”
Then Paul said: he is angry He’s an angry little elf. Mike Tyson, I thought it was a cute slap, but tomorrow night I’m going to slap you. I’m messing with him. He hits hard, this is personal now, he deserves to die! ”
