The security crowd quickly moved to separate the two fighters following the incident, before Iron Mike was removed. Tyson, who weighed 103.4kg after stepping on the scales wearing only his underwear, barely spoke before leaving the scene. “The discussion is over,” he said briefly before leaving with his entourage. Jake Paul, a YouTuber with 20.8 million subscribers who is a boxer, admitted that he was not injured by Tyson's slap which sparked exclamations from the audience.
“He must die!” »
“I didn't even feel it, he was angry.” He’s a grumpy little leprechaun… a fun slap buddy,” said Paul, who weighs 103kg. Paul then vowed to knock Tyson out, before theatrically screaming into the microphone: “He has to die!” » Organizers insisted on the professional nature of the fight, which was fought with the approval of the Texas commission in charge of boxing fight licensing, over 8 2-minute rounds, rather than the 12 3-minute rounds often fought by professionals.
