Last night’s pre-fight staredown was electrifying, with both fighters putting their emotions on full display.
The highly anticipated clash between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is set to take place early Saturday morning. During the final pre-fight staredown, the intensity between the two was palpable.
The tension escalated when Paul stepped onto the stage on Thursday and allegedly stepped on Tyson’s foot, prompting Tyson to deliver a quick slap. According to a source close to Tyson, quoted by ESPN, the boxing legend was fed up with Paul’s provocations, and the foot-stepping incident was the final straw.
Speaking to ABC News, Tyson declared he would unleash “the devil himself” in the ring against his 27-year-old opponent on fight night.
