Jake Paul weighs career-HEAVIEST for Mike Tyson fight as boxing legend, 58, shows off shredded physique in Versace pants

JAKE PAUL hit a career-HEAVIEST weight for his fight against the still shredded heavyweight icon Mike Tyson.

Tyson returns to the ring for a controversial comeback bout against YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul in Texas.

And Tyson looked in sensational shape as he hit the scales at 228.4lb (16st 3lb) while wearing a pair of Versace briefs.

That was just before Paul came in a career-biggest 227.2lb (16st 2lb) nearly TWO STONE above his usual 14st 14lb cruiserweight frame.

The two squared off for the final time but Tyson landed a SLAP on Paul – before the prankster-gone-prizefighter could get close.

It sparked a near-brawl on the stage as the two camps and security intervened to pull the hyped-up pair apart.

Paul, 27, walked off with an unconvincing roar while Tyson, 58, was calmed down by his entourage before sending out one final warning.

He said: “The talking’s over.”

The last time Tyson was in a ring was in 2020 for an exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr, which proved to be nothing more than a glorified spar.

His career officially came to a depressing close in 2005 when he quit on his stool and threw the towel in on his boxing career.

But he is back to face Paul – over 30 years younger – in what will be Netflix’s first move into live boxing.

The fight is scheduled for eight rounds of two-minutes – opposed to the usual three – with bigger 14oz gloves opposed to 10oz.

But the gloves were off on Thursday’s weigh in only 24 hours from fight night – as Paul laughed off Iron Mike’s power.

He told broadcaster Ariel Helwani: “I didn’t even feel it. He’s angry, he’s an angry little elf.

“Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap buddy but tomorrow you’re getting knocked the f*** out.

“I’m f***ing him up, Ariel. I’m f***ing him up. He hits like a b***h! It’s personal now, it’s personal now. He must die.”
