Mike Tyson was not happy with one reporter during the leadup to his fight against Jake Paul.

On Thursday night, Paul and Tyson met with the media in Dallas, Texas during the second stop of their press tour for their July 20th fight.

During the press conference, Tyson denied that the fight is going to be scripted and he vowed to knock Paul out to prove it.

One reporter at the presser began grilling Paul about why he was fighting a ’58-year-old gimmick’ in Tyson.

Reporter: “When in your career are you going to fight a contender in your weight class and not do gimmick fights”

Paul: “You called Mike Tyson a gimmick?

Reporter: “He will be 58 years old at the time of the fight.”

An angry Tyson snapped at the reporter. “What did you just call me?” yelled Tyson.

The reporter eventually backed down as Tyson mean-mugged him.

Tyson and Paul eventually faced off one last time before they get back to training for their July 20th fight on Netflix.
