Mike Tyson BEATS Jake Paul after outsmarting his rival as tempers boil the night before their Netflix fight, with the YouTuber claiming: ‘It’s personal now!’

  • Jake Paul and Mike Tyson stepped on the scale on Thursday evening ahead of their fight
  • Friday’s fight will take place in front of approximately 70,000 fans and will be broadcast on Netflix

Mike Tyson had to be dragged away from an irate Jake Paul after he punched the YouTuber in the face during the weigh-in for their curious Friday night fight here.

That sudden explosion from the Baddest Man On The Planet of yesteryear caused chaos on stage and drew a screaming response from the social media idol.

“It’s personal now,” Paul ranted. “Now he must die.” That’s the fate many fear will befall a 58-year-old boxer making a comeback 20 years after his last professional fight.

While Paul vowed to make Tyson pay, Iron Mike had already left the stage, simply mumbling that the conversation was over.

A single punch to the cheek was mild compared to Tyson’s terrorizing of the opponent during his pageantry at the world heavyweight championship.

But the battle is in full swing again. In that respect, he watches every day of his 58 years.

But when the shirt came off for the weigh-in for his contrived comeback, the body was as toned and muscular as it was in his raging prime as world heavyweight champion, so much so that his condition choked the breath away from the cheers.

Paul, the YouTube celebrity who will be Iron Mike’s first professional opponent in 19 years, disguises his boyish face between a tousled red mane and a shaggy beard.

But there was no hiding the slight bags on the face and around the midriff, which is what you’d expect from a guy in his mid-to-late twenties whose life is as social as his media outbursts.

How their respective weights will affect what plays out at Dallas Cowboys Stadium on Friday night is as unclear as the muddled betting odds offering the unusually short 10-2 price for the draw.

But for the record, Tyson came in at 228.4 pounds, Paul slightly lighter at 227. 2.

“I don’t know why he did that,” Paul shouted. Whatever the reason, he knows this will help sell whatever tickets are still available for the 80,000-capacity venue.
