The most talked-about fight of the year just got its most viral moment. The last time a slap grabbed this much attention, it was Will Smith infamously smacking Chris Rock. Now, with Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson set to headline the biggest exhibition fight of the decade, the buzz isn’t just about the match—it’s about the slap.
One night before the showdown, Tyson, known as the “Baddest Man on the Planet,” stunned everyone by slapping Jake Paul, leaving fans wondering why it happened. A viral video now hints at what might have led to this shocking moment.
A viral video reveals what went down during the face-off between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. As Paul mimicked Jon Jones’ clawing pose, he accidentally stepped on Tyson’s foot while jumping to stand his ground. That misstep seemed to trigger “Iron Mike,” who didn’t hold back, landing a hard slap on ‘The Problem Child.’ So the video suggests that Paul stepping on Tyson’s foot might have been the final straw for the boxing legend.
Adding fuel to the buzz, another viral video has surfaced showing Tyson candidly admitting he can’t tolerate anyone stepping on his foot. In the clip, he stated, “I don’t know what I would do in the UFC. I watched the UFC a couple of times and I watch these guys step on people’s and I have the worst feet in the world right. So somebody steps on my feet I would totally tap out.”
With this context, fans are now piecing together why he lashed out at Paul during their heated face-off.
