What did the five fingers say to the face?
During the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul ceremonial weigh-ins earlier this afternoon (Thurs., Nov 14, 2024), “El Gallo” effed around with “Iron” and found out ... immediately. Netflix’s security detail quickly intervened before the situation escalated.

After the tension settled and the dais cleared, Tyson was asked about his emotions and simply said, “Talk is over,” refusing to talk about him slapping “El Gallo.”
Paul, on the other hand, clowned the Heavyweight legend (again):
Jake Paul: I'm fucking him up, Ariel. I'm fucking him up. He hits like a bitch. It's personal now. It's personal now. He must die!!!! pic.twitter.com/Czx3qYGeXQ

“I didn’t even feel it,” Paul said. “He’s angry. He’s an angry little elf. Mike Tyson, that was a cute little slap, buddy, but tomorrow you’re getting knocked the f—k out. I’m f—king him up. He hits like a b-tch. It’s personal now. It’s personal now. He must die.”
I guess if you weren’t planning on watching the historic Netflix broadcast, perhaps this slap sold you?
Indeed, the Heavyweight boxing legend, 58, finally battles YouTuber-turned boxer, 27, tomorrow night (Fri., Nov. 15, 2024) from inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, streaming live on Netflix.
Tyson certainly looks the part ... and is clearly “locked-in.”
