Jake Paul issues brutal warning to Mike Tyson after boxer slapped him and caused brawl during face-off

Jake Paul has issued a brutal warning to Mike Tyson after the boxer slapped him in their final face-off.

Yep, it all kicked off last night (14 November) when the pair had their final face-off before the big fight.

After what’s felt like way too long thanks to a whole load of chat and a delay on Tyson's part, the big anticipated boxing event finally takes place tonight (or in the early hours of Saturday morning for us UK lot).

But Tyson couldn’t seem to wait to lay hands on Paul, as he ultimately caved to the YouTuber’s wind-up antics.

Having their weigh-in and then their last head-to-head, the 27-year-old crawled across the floor before rising himself up to meet the eye-line of ‘Kid Dynamite’.

And when he did get up, with a little bit of a step on his opponent’s foot, Tyson had evidently had enough and slapped Paul across the face. It seemed like he was going for another jab but a bit of a brawl broke out as the 58-year-old’s camp swarmed him to put a stop to it.

He was quickly surrounded as the YouTuber continued to be a bit of a wind-up and amped up the crowd.

“I didn’t even feel it,” Paul said of the hit. “He’s angry, he’s an angry little elf.

“Mike Tyson I thought that was a cute slap buddy but tomorrow you’re getting knocked the f**k out.”

Oh, and then things got a whole lot more brutal as the YouTube shouted his warning to Tyson down the mic.

“I’m f**king him up, he hits like a b**ch. It’s personal now, it’s personal now, he must die,” Paul screamed.

Users on X said: “Telling a [near] 60-year-old legend ‘he must die’ is wild.”

Another wrote: “Jake comes in emotional swinging for the fences and gassed out. Mike knows what he’s doing. Emotional fighters don’t perform well.”

Others said the ‘slap’ had ‘spun Paul’s whole neck around’ with some predicting: “Tyson is going to knock him out.”

But of course, fans are backing Paul too.

Well, either way, I’m sure all these antics and dramatics might help the boxer shift a few more tickets for the 80,000 capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

And if not, while someone has bought a $2million package to be there in person, plenty of us can just stream the live fight on Netflix instead.

The undercard is set to begin at 8pm eastern time (ET) on Friday, which is 1am GMT on Saturday for UK viewers.

Oh, and if you’re a Netflix subscriber, you don’t have to worry about any extra PPV fee.
