Mike Tyson stirs up pre-fight drama with a wardrobe malfunction during a locker room interview before his boxing match against Jake Paul.
In a pre-fight incident that added a layer of unexpected drama to an already charged atmosphere, Mike Tyson accidentally revealed more than intended during a locker room interview, momentarily exposing himself on camera.
The slip-up quickly went viral, with Netflix seizing the moment to share the cheeky incident across social media platforms, humorously noting, “Mike Tyson’s pre-fight interview got real cheeky. #PaulTyson.”
The mix-up occurred shortly after Tyson, the boxing legend, promised a “vicious win” and walked away from the interview, inadvertently displaying his naked rear to the camera. This gaffe instantly became the subject of widespread humour and disbelief online, with one viewer commenting, “I’ll be having nightmares tonight.”
Further stirring the pre-fight buzz, Tyson was involved in another altercation during the weigh-in when he slapped his opponent, Jake Paul. The clash was sparked when Paul accidentally stepped on Tyson’s foot, leading to a heated exchange quickly broken up by event staff. Tom Patti, a close friend of Tyson, explained the incident to USA TODAY Sports, stating, “Jake stepped on Mike’s foot, which prompted the reaction.”
