The boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul can only be described as complete chaos. These two stars have very different styles and approaches, yet they are set to fight each other on November 15. The night before the fight, they participated in the usual weigh-in. It started off as a lighthearted event until Tyson unexpectedly slapped Paul in the face. The weigh-in itself went well, with Tyson weighing in at 228.4 pounds and Paul at 227.2 pounds. After stepping off the scale, the two faced each other in a classic stare down, something Tyson is familiar with, and which Paul is also getting used to from his recent boxing career. However, the next moment was shocking when Tyson suddenly slapped Paul on the side of his head. As expected, chaos broke out, and people rushed in to separate them. Tyson simply remarked, "talk is over." Paul quickly responded with his own trash talk, saying he didn’t even feel the slap and calling Tyson an "angry little elf." He added, "That was a cute little slap. I'm coming for him. It's personal now." Regardless of the drama in boxing, Tyson and Paul know how to attract attention. The excitement the night before the fight is an excellent way to draw viewers. This was evident when Netflix shared the viral slap moment on social media within an hour.
Jake Paul continued to capitalize on the situation online. He took to Twitter, expressing how amazed he was to be slapped by a legend like Tyson. He wrote, "This a pinch me moment. I got slapped by Mike Tyson." The internet quickly reacted, and the photo of the slap went viral almost instantly. Both fighters understand how to get fans excited, and many will be eager to watch their fight on Friday.
