Mike Tyson‘s showing he ain’t scared of Jake Paul … giving him a couple shoves during a press conference for their upcoming fight — and laughing all the while.
The heavyweight boxing legend came face to face with the Youtuber-turned-fighter at Fanatics Fest at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City Sunday … and, when they come together in the center, Tyson gives Paul a quick left to the chest.

Tyson and Paul exchange words before they start moving back toward each other … where Tyson full-on shoves JP — cracking up at his 27-year-old opponent.
Corralled into standing face to face once again, the two finally let photographers get the photos they need … before Paul gets MT back with his own push.
Mike seemed giddy during their whole exchange … seemingly not a lot of malice here — but, Paul appeared none too happy about the champ clowning him in front of all those cameras.
Not the first time the two have done a press conference like this, remember. The fight was initially supposed to happen last month, but the two fighters agreed to push it back after Mike suffered a medical emergency on a plane in late May.
Tyson still trash talked his opponent after his medical scare — saying his emergency only bought Paul more time. Jake’s promised him no mercy in the ring — so, don’t expect anyone to take it easy come November 15.
The drama’s already heating up for their bout … and, Tyson’s loving every minute of it.
