Replay: Jake Paul, Mike Tyson weirdly push each other after massively awkward random press conference

Check out a replay of Sunday’s news conference in New York with Jake Paul and Mike Tyson moderated by Ryan Clark.

If you want to put yourself through it, by all means, it’s here for you. Check out a replay of Sunday’s news conference in New York with [autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag] and [autotag]Mike Tyson[/autotag]. It was moderated by former NFL standout Ryan Clark, a co-host of ESPN’s “First Take.”

Paul meets boxing legend Tyson on Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas. The event will stream on Netflix free to subscribers, so is being touted as having the potential for 270 million viewers.

Sunday’s news conference was at times painful, and many might consider that being kind. Tyson struggled to get off responses in any kind of timely fashion. Clark may have excelled on the field and in the studio, but as a live moderator/host, he could use plenty of work. Paul was his typical self and touted the $40 million he says he’ll make for the fight with Tyson – whom he listed as being on his Mt. Rushmore of all-time boxers, but was far from peak trash talking form.

After the press conference, which took place at FanaticsFest Live in New York, Tyson and Paul faced off. There, they pushed each other, but it’s doubtful many were convinced the pushes were in bad blood.

The match was delayed from a planned July date because Tyson had an ulcer flare-up. Tyson is 58; Paul is 27.

Video: Things get spicy between Jake Paul, Mike Tyson at Texas news conference

Mike Tyson repeatedly called Jake Paul “fat,” got heated at a pair of reporters, and promised to win by knockout with the first blow he lands.

ARLINGTON, Texas – [autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag] and [autotag]Mike Tyson[/autotag] met in a news conference setting for the second time Thursday at Texas Live! – and things got a little spicy.

For the first time since the bout was announced, trash talk was plentiful. Unlike their previous news conference in New York, cordiality dissipated as the event rolled on.

Paul (9-1) put down Tyson (50-6) and said he’d be the last guy to sleep him.

“I respect Mike and he’s a legend,” Paul said. “But it’s time. It’s my time now. There’s a reason I have the same birthday as Cus D’Amato because I’m going to teach you how to box, Mike.”

Tyson repeatedly called Paul “fat” and questioned the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s resume and power. He also promised to knock Paul out with the first punch he lands.

“He can’t even knock out [Nate] Diaz,” Tyson said. “[Nate] Diaz is 40 pounds. How are you going to knock me out? Who’s the other guy? Anderson Silva. He didn’t knock out those little guys. How’s he going to knock me out? … Who did he knock out? Who did he knock out? Little children. He never knocked out a real man. Come on.”

All of the trash talk may not have even been necessary to sell the fight. According to news conference host Brian Custer, the fight broke the largest live combat sports gate in Texas history less than 24 hours after tickets went on sale to the public. A specific figure was not revealed.

Thursday’s news conference took place a little over two months prior to the July 20 event at AT&T Stadium in Dallas. The event will stream on Netflix and mark the streaming service’s first delve into live combat sports.

It’s co-headlined by a rematch of one of the best women’s boxing bouts ever, as Amanda Serrano (46-2-1) and Katie Taylor (23-1) collide once again. Both women were also present at Thursday’s press conference.

Check out a highlight of the press conference in the video above.

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson faced off for the second time, and this one was much less cordial than the first.

ARLINGTON – [autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag] and [autotag]Mike Tyson[/autotag] concluded their second press conference Thursday in Texas with another faceoff that halted the lighthearted theme witnessed at the prior stop in New York.

In advance of the July 20 boxing match at AT&T Stadium, Paul (9-1) and Tyson (50-6) continued their two-city press conference tour at Texas Live!

After being friendly with each other in New York, Paul and Tyson got a bit more chippy the second time around. During their faceoff, Tyson brushed off Paul, who hand-signaled a gun firing when the former heavyweight boxing champion turned his back.

Co-main event participants Amanda Serrano (23-1) and Katie Taylor (46-2-1) were also featured in the press conference and squared off before Paul and Tyson.

Check out the videos to see how it all unfolded.

The build to the [autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag] vs. [autotag]Mike Tyson[/autotag] boxing match will officially get underway Monday when the two-city promotional press conference tour begins in New York.

Ahead of the heavyweight bout July 20 at AT&T Stadium – a professional contest with eight two-minute rounds and 14-ounce gloves – Paul and Tyson will get the chance to engage with each other a little more than two months away from fight night.

Monday’s press conference goes down at Apollo Theater and begins at 5:30 p.m. ET. A live video stream of the festivities is available above.

It remains to be seen how Paul (9-1) and Tyson (50-6) will approach one another as fight night approaches. Will Paul show respect toward the boxing legend or try to rile Tyson up? And is it possible some vintage “Iron” Mike energy emerges?

We will start to get some answers during the media tour, which continues Thursday with a second press conference at Texas Live! in Arlington, Texas.
