During a press conference for their impending fight, Mike Tyson is demonstrating that he is not afraid of Jake Paul by giving him a few shoves while laughing the entire time.
At the Fanatics Fest at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City on Sunday, the heavyweight boxing star squared up against the YouTuber-turned-fighter. As they met in the center, Tyson struck Paul quickly with a left to the chest.

After exchanging some words, Tyson and Paul turn to face each other again. Tyson then gives JP a hard shove, losing control of the 27-year-old.
The two eventually allowed photographers to acquire the shots they required after being drawn together to stand face to face once more.
Mike Tyson’s behavior during the face off
Mike seemed ecstatic—apparently there wasn’t much animosity here—but Paul didn’t seem too thrilled with the champion making fun of him in front of all those cameras.
This is not the first time the two have had a such press conference. The two boxers decided to postpone the battle after Mike experienced a medical problem aboard a plane in late May. The fight was originally scheduled to take place last month.
Even after his medical scare, Tyson continued to disparage his opponent, claiming that Paul was merely given more time by his emergency. Nobody should expect to take it easy on November 15 because Jake has assured him that he will show him no compassion in the ring.
Tyson is enjoying every minute of the drama that is building up to their fight.
