Tyson, however, was unimpressed and landed a slap on Paul before being restrained by security. “Talking’s over,” Tyson told host Ariel Helwani as he walked off.

Paul brushed off the incident, taunting Tyson: “He’s an angry little elf. That slap was cute, but tomorrow I’m knocking him out. It’s personal now—he must die!” Earlier, Tyson received cheers from the crowd, while Paul was met with jeers.

Weighing in at 228.4lb, Tyson slightly edged Paul’s 227.2lb. The fight, rescheduled from July due to Tyson’s health issues, has generated intense debate since its March announcement.

Tyson boasts a legendary 50-6 record with 44 knockouts, while Paul enters with a 10-1 record, his sole defeat coming in 2023 against Tommy Fury. Ringwalks are set for November 16 at 4am GMT.
