Mike Tyson doesn’t need to try too hard to make headlines. Whether it’s his past in the ring or his unpredictable antics, he’s always a conversation starter. This time, though, the boxing legend went viral for something that had nothing to do with his fists. In a pre-fight interview with Netflix ahead of his showdown with Jake Paul, Tyson inadvertently bared more than just his thoughts. The 58-year-old boxing icon, known for his no-nonsense demeanour, kept his fight predictions straightforward. When asked about the outcome of his much-anticipated bout against the 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer, Tyson kept it brief. He said, “Vicious win.”
The comment could have been the headline, but something else stole the spotlight. During the interview, Tyson accidentally gave viewers an unexpected look at his rear end. Clad in nothing but a jockstrap, the heavyweight champ turned around, leaving audiences shocked and the internet buzzing.
Mike Tyson earned the nickname “Kid Dynamite” for demonstrating explosive power and speed in the early phase of his career. He first time became the World Heavyweight Champion in 1986 at the age of just 21.

It didn’t take long for the video to go viral, with fans and critics alike sharing their reactions. Some found it hilarious, others were baffled, but everyone agreed it was classic Tyson—unpredictable and unfiltered.

While Tyson’s viral moment kept the internet entertained, the actual fight brought a different kind of drama.

Touted as the biggest boxing event of 2024, the fight took place this morning (Saturday) at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer showcased superior skills as the 58-year-old Mike Tyson appeared to struggle with slower reflexes and movement. Despite Tyson’s strong effort in the initial rounds, Jake Paul ultimately gained the upper hand in the eight-round contest. The bout was marked by mutual admiration, with Paul hailing Tyson as the “G.O.A.T.” and the former heavyweight champion acknowledging Paul as a “good fighter.” In a touching moment, Jake Paul bowed to Tyson in the final moments of the match.
