Mike Tyson and Jake Paul dominated headlines as their fiery press conference in New York escalated into a physical confrontation. The event marked the official launch of their rescheduled bout, now set for November 15, after Tyson had to withdraw from their original July 20 date due to a medical issue.
At the press conference, the atmosphere was electric, with the crowd firmly in Mike Tyson’s corner, booing Jake Paul as he took the stage. Despite the cheers for Tyson, Paul didn’t hold back, unleashing a tirade against the city and its iconic boxing legend. “Hey New York, shut the f*** up,” Paul shouted, adding, “You’re just like Mike Tyson, you were good 20 years ago.”
Throughout the event, Mike Tyson and Jake Paul exchanged barbs, with Paul attempting to provoke Tyson by mocking his recent health scare. “You had to go on your little menopause break and postpone the fight,” Paul sneered, to which Tyson calmly responded, “I feel a lot better now.” The tension between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul peaked when they came face to face at the end of the conference, resulting in Tyson playfully shoving Paul twice. Paul, however, didn’t take the gesture lightly, pounding his chest and shoving Tyson back, setting the stage for an explosive fight.
As the showdown draws nearer, the animosity between the two fighters has only intensified, promising an unforgettable clash on November 15.
