Tyson slaps Jake Paul during weigh-in

A charged moment unfolded at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas when Mike Tyson slapped Jake Paul during the weigh-in for their controversial heavyweight fight on Friday.

Paul, 27, will face Tyson, 58, in the highly anticipated bout. After weighing in, Paul crawled dramatically to Tyson before standing for the traditional face-off.

Tyson, who had largely ignored Paul’s taunts all week, responded with a slap, leading to a scuffle as security intervened.

"Talking's over," Tyson declared as he left the stage.

Paul, unfazed, mocked Tyson, saying, "I didn’t even feel it. Tomorrow, you’re getting knocked out."

The fight pits Paul, weighing 16st 3lb, against the two-time world champion, who last competed professionally in 2005.
