Mike Tyson is proving he’s not intimidated by Jake Paul… playfully pushing him during a press conference for their upcoming match, all while sharing a laugh.
The boxing legend confronted the YouTuber-turned-fighter at Fanatics Fest held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in NYC on Sunday… and when they met in the middle, Tyson gave Paul a swift jab to the chest.

The two exchanged banter before stepping back towards each other… where Tyson fully shoved JP, chuckling at his 27-year-old rival.
As they were forced to stand face to face again, they allowed the photographers to capture the shots they needed… before Paul retaliated with his own shove towards MT.
Throughout their exchanges, Mike appeared quite amused… with little animosity, but it seemed that Paul didn’t appreciate the champ joking around at his expense in front of everyone.
This isn’t the first time the pair has engaged in a press conference like this; the fight was originally scheduled for last month, but both fighters decided to postpone it after Mike experienced a medical emergency on a flight in late May.
Despite his health scare, Tyson continued to taunt his opponent, indicating that his incident only gave Paul more time to prepare. Jake vowed not to show any mercy in the ring, so expect a fierce matchup on November 15.
The anticipation for their fight is already building… and Tyson is clearly enjoying every moment of it.
