Mike Tyson remained still on why he punched Jake Paul during their fight, but warned his rival that he was “ready”. The heavyweight legend seemed to take offense as Paul crawled up to him and then jumped in his face after the weigh-in.

Tyson punched Paul before security guards and band members intervened to separate the pair. When tranquil was restored, Tyson simply stated, “I’m ready,” sinking to describe his actions.

Paul shot back: “I didn’t even feel it, he’s livid. He’s an livid little elf.” He continued: “Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap, dude, but you’re gonna get knocked out tomorrow. Fuck him, Ariel, I’m fucked *hits on him. It hits like hell… It’s personal now, personal now. He must die!”

Tyson was still all week and barely spoke at Wednesday’s press conference, but he came alive after stepping on the scale yesterday. He weighed 228.4 pounds, six pounds heavier than Paul, who had bulked up from the 200-pound cruiserweight limit since he knocked out Mike Perry in six rounds in July.

Paul has an impressive record of 10 wins from 11 professional fights, with his only defeat coming at the hands of Tommy Fury last year. He bolstered his fighting resume with victories over former MMA stars such as Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz.

Additionally, he secured a knockout against former NBA player Nate Robinson during the undercard of Tyson’s 2020 exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr, which ended in a stalemate. The upcoming fight, rescheduled for July, will be officially registered on Tyson’s professional record, although it will consist of eight two-minute rounds and wearing 14-ounce gloves instead of the standard 10-ounce gloves.

At a recent press conference, when Tyson was asked about critics downplaying the fight, he replied: “Oh well. The people (here) speak for themselves. I don’t have to answer.” Faced with the potential impact of loss, the legendary “Iron Mike” bristled with confidence, asserting, “I won’t lose,” and doubling down on his meaning, “I won’t lose. Did you hear what I said? ?”

Despite the significant age difference, Paul is 27 years aged and is the favorite. However, Tyson remained unfazed, stating: “Thank you. Hey, I’m fine, everything’s fine.” Tyson stated: “I’m only interested in this fight. “I’m not talking about fighting anyone, just Jake.”

He had previously engaged in verbal sparring, calling Paul a “fabricated killer” in comparison to his self-proclaimed “born killer” status. However, during the pre-fight media event, he appeared dejected, simply remarking, “Yeah, that’s what I said, that’s what I said.”

Tony Bellew threatened to “annihilate” three police officers after being kicked out of the final press conference ahead of Jake Paul’s fight with Mike Tyson.

Bellew stole the show by interrupting the press conference in a stunt organized by Paddy Power. He was accompanied by a pensioner wearing a dressing gown and boxing gloves, whom Bellew introduced as Paul’s next opponent.

As the ancient man began shadow boxing next to him, Bellew said, “Jake Paul, the biggest clown in boxing. If Mike lets you survive Saturday night, I’ve got your next opponent, Jake, here.”

Bellew was immediately ejected from the press conference and almost got into a fight with three police officers, with the former world cruiserweight champion threatening to knock them out.

He explained to talkSPORT: “They were all massive boys. One of them pushed me lightly and I said: ‘Just don’t touch me, I’ll walk around quite cheerful, boys, just don’t raise your hands. on me.” He said, “Okay.”

“When we approached the policeman with the gun in his belt, the guy lightly pushed me in the back. And I said, ‘You are an absolute coward.’ He must have been six feet eight inches elevated. I said, “Do you understand what I would do to you?”

“His partner said, ‘All the talk.’ I replied: ‘It’s not a conversation, it’s a promise. I would annihilate three of you at once. Please don’t do this».

“The policeman said, ‘You’re a fighter, aren’t you? I see how placid you were in the company of these massive boys». I replied, “I don’t really care about them, they don’t intimidate me.”

Time will tell whether Bellew will be in attendance for Paul’s match against Tyson, who is taking part in his first officially sanctioned fight since 2005. About 70,000 fans are expected to watch the fight, and it will be broadcast live on Netflix.

The event was widely criticized by boxing purists who are unhappy that the result will break Tyson’s professional record. Eddie Hearn has already confirmed that he plans to leave the arena before the main event, which he has no intention of watching.

The most significant event of this gala will be Katie Taylor’s fight for the second time with Amanda Serrano, who won her first fight by split decision two years ago.

Jake Paul again confirmed that he wants to face Canelo Alvarez and defeat Mike Tyson next Friday.

Paul will face Tyson in a controversial but highly anticipated heavyweight bout at AT&T Stadium, streaming live on Netflix.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer has been vocal about his desire to face the Mexican four-weight world champion and believes it could be staged for a cruiserweight world title shot, a weight in which Alvarez has never fought.

Canelo had previously downplayed dealing with the “Problem Kid,” but in May the 34-year-old told reporters he might give him a chance in two years.

Paul claims his fight will break Alvarez’s attendance record of 73,126 beat Billy Joe Saunders at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in May 2021 and believes the unified super middleweight champion will have to fight him to regain his status as the face of boxing.

“It’s Canelo,” Paul said Suga Sean O’Malley.

“This moment will prove that I am the face of boxing.

“The biggest attraction and me vs. Canelo at 200 pounds for the world cruiserweight title is probably even bigger than me vs. Tyson and it makes a lot of sense.

“Canelo is on his way out.

“He will want a payday and I want to show the world that all the bullshit I talked about beating Canelo is true and I will be the most upset in the sport of boxing.

“We will fight over who the real face is because I will be running for it after this event.

“I broke his goalscoring record in Texas. I beat ticket sales and all that.”

Alvarez moved up to delicate heavyweight twice, knocking out Sergei Kovalev to win the WBO title in November 2019, but failed to capture the WBA title in May 2022 against Dmitry Bivol.

The WBC approved Alvarez’s request to fight then-WBC cruiserweight champion Ilunga Makabu in November 2021, and considering that fight never happened, Paul believes the Guadalajara native will still want to win the cruiserweight belt.

When asked if he thought Alvarez would agree to face him, the 27-year-old replied: “He will.

“The reason is that he will want to win his fifth title in the weight division.

“He wanted to win the cruiserweight belt.

“He was going to challenge Makabu to become the cruiserweight champion, so he wants to conquer that division so he can call himself the cruiserweight champion, and that’s where the fight makes sense.

“I can’t make 175 pounds, so this fight should be for the belt and it makes the most sense at cruiserweight.”
