Jake Paul vs Iron Mike Tyson is odd on its own but the former YouTuber raised some eyebrows with his antics during their face off.

Boxing has taken an odd turn over the last couple years. Celebrity and exhibition fights that would have been laughed at are now bringing in the big bucks.

Former YouTuber Jake Paul has been able to turn this to his advantage and rake in millions with fighting former combat sport athletes.

His upcoming boxing bout against the Iron Mike Tyson has been bringing a lot of attention with many hoping for a pure chaotic fight.

The 27-year-old Paul has been known for his antics and his face off with the 57-year-old Tyson has got people on social media scratching their heads and asking what he's doing.

Some users have even gone as far to call Paul’s acts disrespectful to Tyson.

In a clip that has been viewed more than 3.5 million times, in a stare down, Paul is seen pulling an exaggerated historic English boxing stance while Tyson essentially stares back in disbelief.

After a couple seconds Tyson is seen shaking his head likely telling Paul he simply isn’t intimidated. The former heavyweight champion then threw up his hands and turned his back on Paul to walk away before returning to stand next to him.

Paul continued to make hand gestures to the unphazed Tyson.

“The disrespect here not only towards an elder but also a legend in the sport is infuriating,” one user commented.

“He's just disrespectful. Tyson would literally have killed him in his prime, no questions asked,” added another.

“Jake’s lost the fight even if he wins. You can tell a real G like Mike apart from a wannabe with some skill. Mike is a pure terminator warrior. Jake just has skill and youth,” commented a third.

“He really thinks this is a game many young men have acted like this and found out. He will find out that Iron Mike Tyson is a full grown Silver back Gorilla,” another commented.

Whoever fans think will end up the victor, they will all have to wait until July 20 to see who comes out on top.

The fight - which has been sanctioned as a professional fight - will feature eight rounds, consisting of two minutes each, with Most Valuable Promotions, a company co-owned by Paul, promoting the event.
