Jake Paul, known YouTuber, declared that he did not feel the slap from Mike Tyson during the weigh-in ceremony and joked about the boxer he will face in an exhibition match. Paul mentioned: "I didn’t even feel the hit. He must die." Tyson, at 58 years old, will try to demonstrate his good athletic form in the fight that will take place in Arlington, Texas.
Mike Tyson's aggression towards his opponent, 31 years younger, has generated great anticipation around the fight, considered by many as a circus spectacle. The confrontation between one of the best boxers in history and the controversial YouTuber has drawn criticism, but also generates interest in seeing Tyson return to the ring against a provocative rival.
At the weigh-in, Jake Paul stated that he will knock out Tyson on Friday, while the latter calmly responded, indicating that his opponent is in trouble. The fight, scheduled for eight rounds of two minutes each, has captured attention, overshadowing the match between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor for the super lightweight world titles.
Amanda Serrano, after her defeat to Taylor in April 2022, will seek to unseat her rival and has sparked interest in a tough-to-predict spectacle. For her part, Serrano, champion in seven different weight categories, will try to demonstrate her good form at age 36 in this fight, which will be a prelude to the match between Tyson and Paul.
