Jake Paul is slapped by Mike Tyson during their final confrontation before the highly anticipated fight.
On Friday, the two will battle it out at AT&T Stadium.
All doubts about the authenticity of Jake Paul-Mike Tyson can be discarded.
On Thursday night, Tyson and Paul were separated after Tyson struck Paul across the face.
Paul, who weighed in at 227.2 pounds, met Tyson for their final staredown before the fight, with Tyson standing at 228.4 pounds.
Tyson threw an open right hand, and Paul took it like a champ as numerous people held Tyson back.
Following the occurrence, Tyson declared to Ariel Helwani, "The conversation is now finished," and exited. In response, Paul stated, "He must perish."
The most contentious part of the ordeal was unlike Tyson, who had been mellow leading up to it.
Tyson has been the one to push the buttons, even calling Paul "boring" at Wednesday night's press conference. Paul, though, continued to say little in just about every conference.
But on Thursday, he totally flipped the script.
The much-anticipated fight is now happening at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Friday night, and it will be broadcasted on Netflix.
