Tonight, it will be determined if boxing legend Mike Tyson is still the baddest man on the planet. At 58 years old, Tyson will step into the ring at AT&T Stadium, to face YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in an eight-round matchup before 70,000 fans. Paul, nearly 30 years Tyson’s junior, has long been seen as the younger, faster competitor—especially with Tyson nearing his 60s.

However, during today’s face-off event, Tyson made it clear who was in charge when he slapped Paul after he stepped on his toe, which Tyson called a “reciprocate” act. This sparked a wild reaction from the crowd, and fans who had previously supported Paul began rooting for Tyson instead. The impact of Tyson’s slap quickly spread beyond the boxing world and reached the MMA realm.

Recently, fighter-turned-analyst Daniel Cormier shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight via Instagram, stating, “When a disruptor challenges a legend, anything can happen. When a kid who was on YouTube and in Disney walked in and said, ‘I am going to be a professional boxer,’ Jake Paul needs to be commended for that. He had a vision and the honesty to execute it better than anyone ever could have expected. But sometimes, you want something so badly that you don’t recognize the danger that comes with wanting it.”

DC ended his statement strongly, saying, “I’m actually all in on this deal. I can’t wait. I think Mike is knocking this kid out. Mike done slapped the taste out of his mouth, lol.” This upcoming boxing match will mark Mike Tyson’s first outing since his return to the ring in 2020 when he faced Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition bout that ended in a draw. However, despite the buzz created by Tyson’s slap, Jake Paul seemed unfazed, treating it as nothing more than a minor distraction.

Jake Paul sends a warning to Mike Tyson

Jake Paul is all set for his 12th boxing appearance today, with a largely successful career that boasts 11 wins out of 12 fights. His only setback came from a loss to British prospect Tommy Fury, a fighter from his own age group. However, Paul quickly bounced back from his loss to Fury, embarking on an impressive four-fight winning streak. His latest victory came against BKFC star Mike Perry, who also couldn’t withstand Paul’s power.

Now, Paul is setting his sights on taking down boxing legend Mike Tyson, hoping to continue his momentum and secure another high-profile win. However, after Tyson’s slap during today’s face-off, Paul’s anger was triggered. In response, he vowed to take Tyson down, saying, “I didn’t even feel it. He’s angry. He’s an angry little elf. Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap, buddy, but tomorrow you’re getting knocked the f*** out. I’m fu**ing him up. He hits like a bi—, it’s personal now, he must die.”

With only a few hours remaining before the most anticipated boxing match of the year, all eyes are on this epic showdown. How do you see the events unfolding?
