At a perplexing news conference in Texas, Mike Tyson spoke only a few words while Jake Paul made crude comments and British boxer Tony Bellew was escorted out by security. Tyson, the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion, will step back into the ring to face YouTuber-turned-fighter Paul, 27, at AT&T Stadium in Dallas on Friday. Despite not having fought professionally in 19 years, Tyson appeared disinterested, while Paul took control of the conversation.
Paul attempted to provoke Tyson by referencing comments from a documentary where the former champion called himself a "natural-born killer." However, Tyson remained unfazed, simply responding, "That's what I said." His reluctance to engage in the back-and-forth with Paul added to the awkward atmosphere of the event.
Despite the chaos, the news conference gained some legitimacy due to the presence of notable boxers Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, who are set to compete for the undisputed female boxing title in the evening's chief support fight. Both Taylor and Serrano conducted themselves professionally, contrasting the strange behavior of Tyson and Paul and bringing a sense of credibility to the event.
