The buzz around the highly anticipated Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match reached new heights on Sunday, August 18, 2024, during a lively press conference at Fanatics Fest in New York City. Held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, the event was designed to promote the upcoming clash between the heavyweight boxing legend and the YouTuber-turned-fighter. However, things quickly turned physical, adding even more fuel to the hype.
Mike Tyson Shows He’s Not Backing Down
During the face-off, Mike Tyson wasted no time showing that he’s far from intimidated by Jake Paul. As the two fighters stood face-to-face, Tyson playfully yet firmly delivered a quick left shove to Paul’s chest, sparking an intense exchange between the two. Despite the serious tone of the event, Tyson couldn’t help but laugh as he pushed the 27-year-old fighter, making it clear that he’s ready to take on the challenge.
A Tense Exchange: Words and Shoves
The confrontation didn’t stop with the first shove. After exchanging words, the fighters moved back toward each other, and Tyson delivered another full-on shove to Paul. The heavyweight champion appeared to be enjoying himself, laughing throughout the encounter, while Paul seemed less amused by the playful taunting. In front of cameras and fans, the tension between the two was palpable, setting the stage for an unforgettable showdown.
Jake Paul Fires Back
Not one to be outdone, Jake Paul got his own back during the press conference. As the photographers gathered to capture the moment, Paul retaliated with a shove of his own, pushing Tyson as the cameras flashed. Though Tyson seemed to be having fun, Paul’s reaction hinted that he wasn’t too happy with being clowned in front of the crowd.
Rescheduled Fight Date: November 15, 2024
This isn’t the first time these two fighters have faced off in a press conference.
