Jake Paul’s mom launches blistering attack on Mike Tyson and vows to ‘kill him’ after weigh in slap

Jake Paul‘s mom could be willing to step into the ring and take her son’s place against Mike Tyson Friday night. 

Tensions exploded onstage Thursday when the unlikely rivals hit the scales in a tension-riddled weigh-in 24 hours before their controversial Netflix bout at the home of the Dallas Cowboys. 

As the pair came together for the customary face-off, the Baddest Man On The Planet, 58, shocked onlookers by slapping the YouTuber, 27.

Paul, who is 31 years his rival’s junior, was unfazed by the boxing legend’s explosive outburst but his mom, Pam Stepnick, had a more furious reaction. 

Despite preparing to witness her son exchange blows with Tyson in an eight two-minute round showdown Friday night, the mother-of-two took issue with the boxing great laying a hand on her baby boy.    

‘I’m going to kill Mike Tyson for you,’ she said while squeezing her son tight in a hug following the on-stage altercation. ‘F***ing little b****.’

Her courageous claim earned a burst of laughter from Paul, who declared that she ‘slaps harder’ than Tyson. 

After lashing out, Tyson was restrained and exited the stage, offering Paul the chance to have the last word. 

‘Talking’s over,’ Tyson responded, before leaving with his entourage but in the moments after the slap, Paul said: ‘I didn’t even feel it.

‘He’s angry. He’s an angry little elf’, he added, saying: ‘Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap.’

Speaking to Ariel Helwani on stage, Paul said: ‘Mike Tyson, that was a cute slap buddy but tomorrow you’re getting knocked the f*** out.

‘I’m f*****g him up, I’m f*****g him up! He hits like a b***. It’s personal now, it’s personal now!’ 

He then seized the opportunity to issue one final chilling warning to his opponent, adding: ‘He must die!’

Tyson’s former training partner turned politician Tom Patti later revealed the reason why the 58-year-old lashed out at Paul.

He claimed Tyson was retaliating after YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul had stepped on his foot after lunging towards him.

‘Jake stepped on Mike’s foot, that prompted the reaction,’ Tom Patti, one of Tyson’s longtime friends, told USA Today . 

‘I was there and Mike just told me.

‘My personal opinion (is) Jake shows enough disrespect that he starts crawling up to Mike and then pouncing in front of him… like some sort of lurching animal.

‘Mike put him in his place.’

Footage appears to back up Patti’s comments with Paul, who was wearing trainers, seen landing on the top of Tyson’s right foot ahead of the confrontation.

Tyson, meanwhile, said: ‘I was in my socks and he had on shoes, he stepped on my toe because he is a f***ing a***hole. I was in a lot of pain. I had to reciprocate.’

Just moments before the outburst, Tyson had outweighed Paul by just over a pound. Having previously operated as a cruiserweight, Paul has bulked up to take on Tyson and weighed in at 227.2lbs.

Tyson then stepped up wearing Versace pants and looked in incredible condition, especially considering he turned 58 in July, as he tipped the scales at 228.4lbs.

The controversial fight, which is being streamed live on Netflix, is being held at AT&T Stadium in Texas.
