The drama reached a peak during the weigh-in ceremony in Dallas when the legendary boxer slapped the YouTuber, prompting security to intervene and prevent the scene from escalating into chaos.

Why Did Mike Tyson Slap Jake Paul?

The 58-year-old boxing icon sparked controversy during the weigh-in, facing boos from the crowd after a series of questionable actions.

It all began when Tyson removed his jacket, stripped down to his underwear, and made an obscene gesture in front of cameras and attendees. But the real uproar came when he unexpectedly slapped Jake Paul during their face-off, creating a viral moment.

What Triggered the Slap?

Reports suggest that Jake Paul stepped on Tyson’s foot as he approached, prompting the heavyweight legend’s immediate reaction.

Later, when asked about the incident, Tyson avoided providing an explanation, simply stating, "The conversation is over," before walking off amid the crowd’s boos.

Tyson and Paul are set to face off tonight at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, in an exhibition fight that promises to be as intense as their dramatic weigh-in.
