Mike Tyson slammed Jake Paul for stepping on his foot when their pre-fight weigh-in boiled over.

Seemingly out of nowhere, Tyson punched Paul in the face at the Las Colinas, Texas, event prior to their Friday boxing match at AT&T Stadium.

Paul replied, “He beats like a bitch…He’s going to die.”

The taste was Tyson’s reaction to upstart Paul stepping on his toe, which he believes may have been on purpose.

“I was in my socks and he had shoes on,” Tyson told The Post moments after the weigh-in. “He stepped on my toe because he’s a—king an—hole. I would think it happened by accident. But now I think it may have been done on purpose.

“I was in a lot of pain. I had to retaliate.”

Asked what he would say to his 27-year-old foe right now if they were together, Tyson pointedly replied: “Talk is over.”

A representative for Tyson told The Post: “Jake has been stabbing the bear all along. Mike beat the s–t out of him.”
