Mike Tyson slapped Jake Paul during a weigh-in ahead of their fight on Friday. The incident occurred after Paul approached Tyson, who then struck him in the face. Paul dismissed the slap, claiming it had no effect. Tyson weighed in at 228.4 pounds, while Paul was at 227.2 pounds. This marks Tyson's return to boxing after nearly two decades since his last professional match in 2000. Paul has bulked up for the fight, previously weighing in at 200 pounds for a bout in July. The fight was delayed earlier this year due to Tyson's health issues, including an inflamed ulcer. Both fighters have been training intensively, with Tyson expressing confidence in his preparation.
