Jake Paul and Mike Tyson engage in a strange shoving duel in a rescheduled fight

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson engaged in a strange, gentle shove at the press conference for their rescheduled boxing match on Sunday.

YouTube star Paul, 27, will fight the 58-year-old heavyweight icon in November, four months after the original date for their clash.

Their fight at AT&T Stadium was postponed when Tyson suffered a stomach ulcer outbreak on a flight. Ahead of their new date at the Dallas venue, the two Americans squared off at a press conference on Sunday (August 18).

The highlight of the event saw Tyson playfully shove Paul twice before the social media star turned boxer responded in kind.

Earlier at the press conference, Tyson refused to fall for Paul's trash talk, with the 27-year-old saying: “I was ready before, you needed a little break. Your stomach hurts? Your stomach still hurts?”

“I handed that old asshole that deal. We signed the contract with Netflix and I handed him the deal, so you're welcome, son.

“I'm going to discipline you like a son, so shut up with all your 'need this, need that'; we brought you the deal, and don't forget that.”

Paul vs. Tyson will stream live on Netflix in an unprecedented move. The fight card will also feature an undisputed super lightweight title fight pitting women's icons Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano against each other in a rematch of their 2022 fight.

Taylor narrowly defeated Serrano on points in an Instant Classic to retain the undisputed lightweight titles she held at the time. Serrano entered this fight as the unified featherweight champion.
