‘He must die’: Jake Paul screams in-the-ring promise after slap by Mike Tyson
YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has screamed some fighting words into the microphone moments after his ceremonial weigh-in with Mike Tyson, moments after he was slapped across the face by the former world heavyweight champion.
Paul and Tyson both weighed in on Thursday at the Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas, with the two giving viewers a sneak peek of what is to come when they meet in the ring on Friday.
As Tyson strode across the stage, 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 said, before exiting with his entourage.

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: “Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap.”
