    There was a heavyweight meeting at the 50-yard line before Sunday’s Cowboys-Saints game.

    Future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady shook hands and embraced legendary boxer Mike Tyson over the Dallas crest at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where the seven-time Super Bowl champ is calling his second NFL game as a Fox analyst.

    The two chatted amongst a group that also included Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Saints owner Gayle Benson.

    Brady then playfully took a jab at Tyson about the fighter’s upcoming bout with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

    “Are you a little scared?” the legendary quarterback, 47, asked.

    “I should be,” The 58-year-old Tyson responded while giggling.

    After they chatted some more and took photos, Tyson put on Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons’ No. 11 jersey and met with Paul, who was also attending the game.

    Tyson and Paul are scheduled to square off on Friday, Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium.

    The highly anticipated clash was originally scheduled for July 20 but was postponed in May after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up aboard a flight.

    “My body is in better overall shape than it has been since the 1990s and I will be back to my full training schedule soon,” Tyson said in a statement at the time.

    “Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but in the end, you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good. I appreciate everyone’s patience and can’t wait to deliver an unforgettable performance later this year.”

    Brady returned to the booth with Kevin Burkhardt on Sunday following his highly anticipated broadcast debut last week in the Cowboys’ season-opening win versus the Browns.

    He joined Fox in 2022 on a 10-year, $375 million deal.
