During Friday night’s final face-off for their highly anticipated fight, Jake Paul gave Mike Tyson one last warning.

Just 24 hours before their ring clash at AT&T Stadium in Texas, the unlikely foes Paul and Tyson weighed in and saw one other for the last time.

Following their respective analyses, the two engaged in the traditional face-off, but Tyson used the occasion to snap, slapping the YouTuber. Tyson was quiet and made few remarks before exiting the stage, suggesting that Paul was largely unaffected by the blow. Paul then had a chance to say his last words into the microphone.

Tyson had been a little more than a pound heavier than Paul only seconds before. Paul, who was once a cruiserweight, has put on weight to compete against Tyson and now weighs 227.2 pounds.

After that, Tyson stood up in Versace trousers and looked amazing, especially considering that he weighed 228.4 pounds and was 58 in July.

The gaudy earphone on Paul’s helix was brought up by host Ariel Helwani during the press conference.

According to TMZ Sports, VOBARA’s cover cost an incredible $100k. In a costly nod to Tyson’s notorious bite on Evander Holyfield during their 1997 heavyweight rematch, the YouTuber-turned-fighter wore it on his right ear.The idea for the ear cover was inspired by Tyson’s bite on Holyfield, which occurred 27 years ago and rocked the boxing world.

Holyfield defeated him via TKO in the eleventh round of their first fight in 1996, and the two rematched at the MGM Grand the following year. After Iron Mike disqualified Holyfield in the third round by biting his ear, the rematch became notoriously known as The Bite Fight.

Tyson, 58, has not had a sanctioned professional relationship for 19 years.
