It looks like the war between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has gotten their families involved, too. The duo is all set to face each other in a matter of hours at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington and the tension is sky-high. Last night, the two-time world heavyweight champion and The Problem Child faced off during the official weigh-ins, the last time before they meet in the ring.
Things got heated up when the duo came face-to-face with each other. Jake Paul, in an attempt to intimidate Iron Mike, crawled on the floor on all fours towards him. However, while up close, he inadvertently stepped on the boxing legend’s face. Angered by the disrespect, Mike Tyson slapped Jake Paul square across his face. The crowd of security had to pull away Tyson to stop the situation from escalating further. The slap was clearly impactful but El Gallo shrugged it off and referred to Tyson as an “Elf.” Later, Paul’s mother, Pam Stepnick, also took a shot at the former world champion on her Instagram story. While Tyson has stated that he doesn’t want to talk anymore, his family did not hold back as Milan Tyson came up with a hilarious retaliation to defend her father.
New Mike Tyson meme, is it?
Mike Tyson’s daughter, Milan Tyson took to Instagram and shared a picture of the incident on her story. The picture captured the perfect moment when Iron Mike connected the slap on Paul face. From the image, it looks like the impact of the slap shut Jake Paul’s eyes and disfigured his face for a second.
Milan Tyson wrote, “New meme unlocked,” on her Instagram story while sharing the image. She can be referring to the famous Batman meme where the Caped Crusader is slapping his sidekick Robin and telling him to ‘Shut Up.’ While we can’t confirm it for sure, one thing is certain Tyson’s family is enjoying seeing their father in such a serious avatar after a very long time.
Mike Tyson’s eldest son, Amir Tyson, who was sitting with the event team, warned Jake Paul and advised him to not take it as a game. “He(Jake Paul) is in for a beating tomorrow. It is gonna be bad,” stated Amir while warning Jake Paul of what is to come on fight night.
Mike Tyson’s bitch move
Stepnick was present at the live weigh-in event and witnessed her son getting slapped. When FightHype asked her about the incident, she furiously replied, “He’s a bitch.” But that wasn’t all.
Stepnick later shared a video of the incident on her Instagram story and wrote in the captions, “What a bitch move by the angry little elf.” Stepnick took this move right out of her son’s playbook who called Tyson an ‘Elf’ on the stage right after the incident.
After the weigh-in, Paul went out to embrace his mother to probably console her and promised a knockout victory. The Problem Child somehow managed to sneak in another insult and stated, “You slap harder than him(Mike Tyson).”
Well, no matter the result of the fight, one thing is for sure: this fight has gotten personal now. The stakes are higher than ever and we can expect an intense bout that can exceed everyone’s expectations.
