Mike Tyson Slaps YouTuber Jake Paul During Final Staredown, Video Viral

Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson slapped opponent Jake Paul as the two men faced off for the final time on Thursday ahead of their controversial Netflix-backed bout. Tyson, 58, hit Paul flush on the cheek with his right hand following the formal weigh-in for Friday's fight at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

A scrum of security swiftly intervened to separate the two fighters following the incident before Tyson was ushered away. Tyson, who weighed in at 228.4 pounds after stepping onto the scales wearing only a pair of Versace briefs, barely spoke before leaving the stage.
