We are getting ever closer to Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul, the Netflix event that is proving to be the fight of the year from an interest level. Before we get to see the two boxers take the ring live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday, we witnessed the two stars meet one another at the live weigh-in event. After Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano were incredibly respectful to one another in anticipation of their second bout, perhaps fans believed similar respect would be shared between Tyson and Paul. That was not the case.

Tyson turned 58 on June 30 while Paul turned 27 on January 17. ESPN noted that the 31-year age gap between for former boxing champ and YouTube star is the biggest in the history of pro boxing.
Also, the publication noted, that the fight on Netflix Friday night marks Tyson’s first professional boxing match in 19 years.
The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing event is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. on Netflix, with three bouts on the card before the main event.
Paul, 27, came in at 227 pounds, the heaviest weight of his five-year professional career. The Ohio-born YouTuber weighed a career-high 200 pounds for a TKO 6 win over Mike Perry in July, so he’s added the requisite bulk to compete against a natural, albeit ancient, heavyweight.
"He's made it personal now, and I'm gonna knock him the f**k out," screamed Paul in response to being slapped. "He hits like a bitch.... he must die!!!"
At 228.4 pounds, Tyson looked in great condition for a man of 58, but it remains to be seen if that translates into an acceptable performance on fight night. In his heyday, the former undisputed heavyweight champion hovered around the 215-pound mark, but he was as high as 239 when his career was winding down in the early 2000s.
"The talking is over now," said Tyson before departing the stage.
The Sporting News provided live coverage of the weigh-in, which took place at the Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas.
