Mike Tyson had to be dragged away from an enraged Jake Paul after slapping the YouTuber in the face at the weigh in for their curious ballyhooed Friday night fight here
That sudden explosion of the Baddest Man On The Planet of old ignited a maul on the stage and provoked a screaming reaction from the idol of social media.
As Tyson strode across the stage on Thursday at the Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas, a clearly eager Paul, 27, popped up in front of the 58 year old, earning the YouTouber-turned-boxer a slap across the face.
The crowd in attendance gasped while Tyson had to be held back.
Paul, however, seemed unfazed. Instead, he blew kisses at the former champion.
‘Talking’s over,’ Tyson responded, before exiting with his entourage but in the moments after the slap, Paul said: ‘I didn’t even feel it.
‘He’s angry. He’s an angry little elf’, he added, saying: ‘Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap.’
Paul then launched into a series of expletive-laden remarks, promising to end Iron Mike in the upcoming fight.
