Mike Tyson slaps Jake Paul at the end before the big match
If you ever had any doubts that Jake Paul-Mike Tyson was real, all of this can be thrown out the window.
Tyson and Paul had to part ways on Thursday night after the former heavyweight champion slapped the 27-year-old across the face.
Tyson had just finished his weigh-in, where he came in at 228.4 pounds – Paul at 227.2. Tyson then went to Paul for one last look before the fight, and Paul crawled on his face.

Paul came a little closer, Tyson opened his right hand. Paul took it as a hero as many people held Tyson back.
After the incident, Tyson said “talk is over” to Ariel Helwani and left. Paul answered, “You deserve to die.”
It was the most controversial part of the whole test, and very unlike Tyson, who was very calm before this event.
Paul was the one who pushed the buttons, even calling Tyson “boring” at Wednesday night’s press conference. However, Tyson continued to say little throughout most of the conference.
But on Thursday, he completely flipped the script.
