Tyson and Paul are set to square off in a Netflix event at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, this Friday and have made things personal.
While they were mostly respectful of each other in the build-up to the fight, things got violent during their weigh-in on Thursday, with Tyson rocking the younger star by slapping him on the left side of his face.
A video has since surfaced online showing Paul holding his mother while she says she’s going to kill the former undisputed world champion, referring to him in some colorful terms.
“I’m gonna kill Mike Tyson for you,” she’s heard saying in the video below, adding, “F**king little b***h.”
Paul laughed, claiming she hits harder than the 58-year-old boxing icon.

“So that’s where they get their disrespect,” a fan said in the comments.
“It’s not that serious, Karen,” another said.
“If Jake Paul’s mom kills Mike Tyson Netflix will have a documentary series made in 2 weeks,” a comment read.
“They are so unlikeable…” someone else wrote.
“Embarrassing family,” said another.
Why Mike Tyson Slaped Jake Paul
The reason Tyson slapped Jake Paul has been revealed following the stunning incident.
It appears Paul triggered the whole thing by crawling toward the 58-year-old like a monkey and then stepping on his foot.
Jake has vowed to knock Iron Mike out tonight, but the veteran will also have to be on the lookout for his mom.
