JAKE PAUL has warned Mike Tyson “he must die” after their Netflix fight was made “personal” by a shocking on-stage slap.
Fans are eagerly awaiting tonight’s boxing clash at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas after months of hype.
The scrap will be streamed around the world through Netflix.
And boxing experts are eager to see whether Tyson, 58, can rediscover his old heavyweight champion form to silence young pup Paul, 27.
The 31-year age gap between the pair has been one of the most talked-about factors leading up to the fight.
But Tyson set a new tone for the contest when he clashed with Paul during their weigh-in.
The veteran delivered a powerful slap to the face of his social media star opponent.
Footage later revealed Tyson appeared to be retaliating to Paul purposefully stepping on his foot.
But that didn’t stop the YouTuber-turned-fighter from making a chilling promise.
With his face still ringing from Tyson’s hand, Paul declared: “Mike Tyson, that was a cute slap buddy.
