The real reason\u00a0Mike Tyson<\/a>\u00a0slapped\u00a0Jake Paul<\/a>\u00a0has been revealed ahead of their highly-anticipated fight this Friday.<\/p>\n

To his credit, the 28-year-old fighter took the hit like a champ.<\/p>\n

He was pretty fired up in the aftermath, sending a warning to his soon-to-be opponent in an interview with Ariel Helwani.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s personal now, it\u2019s personal now. He must die,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said, vowing to knock Tyson out.<\/p>\n
